   Why use pipewire?

   Hi all,   
      
   in 23.10 the following issue occurred:   
      
   The audio system has been installed "out of the box", and every device   
   like headset, internal speaker and microphone were accessible.   
   Except my external microphone, "Sandberg USB 126-07", which I often use   
   for video conferences, was shown in pavucontrol, but the signal level was   
   not shown, and audacity hung when trying to use this as input.   
      
   After all, I removed every package with "pipewire" in their name, to have   
   only alsa and pulseaudio left.   
      
   Then it worked, but I am wondering, what pipewire is good for at all. And,   
   what side effects I have to expect, now, that pipewire has been removed.   
      
   Does anyone know? -- Thanks!   
      
   Best regards,   
      
   Markus
