Yes I've been updating every other day or so. Pipewire has updated several times since I built my current daily driver. I like Void for that reason. I can't think of an update that actually had anything broken or buggy in it. Only when they cut over to the newer repo.

I've had a psuedo full install going since building the 08layer for KLV-spectr/airdale. The PFI includes what's in the 08layer. My Airedale is based off SR8 I believe (hard to keep up) and I have the 6.1.38-RT kernel package in it. My Spectr PFI is based on RC1 and also has the 6.1.38-RT kernel.

A day ago I recently squashed the PFI into a rootfs. It's 1.4GB including the collection of lv2 plugins and some soundfonts, along with the gtk/icon themes found in the 08layer.

I've got a busy couple months because I have to move out of studio space when the lease is up end of June. But I could either rebuild or duplicate this PFI, strip all the networking data, etc and create a working, currently updated Audio rootfs from it. Just don't know if I'll have the time to spare.

pipewire.sh

#!/bin/bash

check_and_start() {
    if ! pgrep -x "$1" >/dev/null; then
        echo "Starting $1..."
        sleep 1 && $2 &
    else
        echo "$1 is already running."
    fi
}

check_and_start "pipewire" "/usr/bin/pipewire"

pipewire.sh

In what case would you need this script? Is it in case pipewire service is stopped? Or is it to start pipewire when booting?

launch Pipewire on boot

Hi @Sofiya

Question

• Is the 'updates' for KDE also via the package manager, as well? (Your KLV-KDE is so stable AND easy, thus far! )

KLV-KDE will be updated as standard via the xbps package manager
