Pipewire has gotten around it because they don't use device interupts. They can give jack clients whatever buffer size they like so long as the entire buffer is big enough. That is probably not an entirely correct assesment. All I know is that jack with ffado is rock solid.

What do you think: Will pipewire finally support ffado?

The last I heard, there are no plans to implement any Jackd backends in PipeWire. That includes net, FFado etc. There is already an auto dummy device in Pipewire, but I do not think it is as flexable as the jackd dummy backend.

In theory, Pipewire should be able to use a running Jackd as a device. There are some problems with this. Libjack must be one of jackd1, jackd2 or pipewire. If Pipewire is set up to act as jack, then starting jackd(bus) will not work as planed because jackd will try to load pipewire's libjack and fail. So jackd must be run from a script that first resets the environment libpath to point at jackd's libjack before running.

I have not heard anyone who has said they have done this.
