build-x86-images.sh: use pipewire #301

Closed paper42 closed 1 year ago

paper42 commented 1 year ago

Pipewire is now mature enough and often works better than pulseaudio, so let's use it in graphical live isos.

Here is a new xfce image for testing: https://vasilek.cz/paste/void-live-x86_64-20221217-xfce.iso

:+1: agree with the concept here

  • the xfce variant should have a way to control sound volume, installing xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin could help

and maybe including pavucontrol on all variants

I think that the DE specific applets would be much better. For example on GNOME, it's already in the settings and in the panel, so there is no need to include a separate application like pavucontrol. Or do you mean including the applets and pavucontrol? What advantages does that have over just the applets?

yes I mean both. in xfce, the tray applet will have a menu item for opening pavucontrol. not sure about others but pavu is also generally a more complete interface

I am against this, I think that people can install more capable interfaces when they want to. We just want to provide a basic working system.
