   Yes, that is the drawback with Gentoo, build times are time consuming   
   and then if something fails, the work to figure out why and fix it to   
   continue, at least your don't have that issue with Redcore.

   I switched to pipewire yesterday, the only drawback is that plasma don't   
   auto start it in the same ways as pulseaudio, but making your own script   
   for starting stuff and then add it to the plasma startup and it's fixed.   
      
   I did first install: pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack   
   wireplumber   
      
   sudo echo < /usr/bin/start-pipewire   
   #!/bin/bash   
   /usr/bin/pipewire & /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse & /usr/bin/wireplumber   
   EOF   
   sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/start-pipewire   
      
   then open System Settings and select System/Autostart and click on   
   +Add... and pick Add application and then add /usr/bin/start-pipewire   
      
   and that is, just logout and the in again, sound should autostart.   
      
   Just keep in mind to not have pulseaudio installed at the same time,   
   depending on the distribution, when installing pipewire-pulse should   
   remove the pulseaudio, but if it don't just remove it yourself.
