I always used Debian after 2002. Audio is a complicated thing I admit. ALSA is very good, but it is too low level. The challenge comes from the fact that the computer turned into a multipurpose device and one of the applications is audio and video. So you have more and more applications that must share the same audio system. This is why PA was done - to manage the applications that need audio. Since 12.x it works very well. I used to compile it before, because I use Debian stable and PA was really bad, so I installed the latest and greatest from source. But now it works fine. PipeWire intends to close some gaps in PA (I heard), but did not try it. I like the situation now and I don't need to change anything that works. The PA bluetooth plugin is optional, because no one knows if someone would want to use this. However if you install it, it provides the desired profiles to the bluetooth stack and everything is meant to be transparent. Most of the time it is. Perhaps you lack basic understanding how those things work together. I bet there are good documents to read, or videos to watch. I wonder if someone is using BT input devices (mouse/keyboard) and can give some feedback on how tdebluez behaves. AFAIR we do not show them in the GUI -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0 ____________________________________________________ tde-devels mailing list -- devels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devels-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/devels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
