Very likely out of scope, I fear. Are there no 3rd-party tools that can be used to accomplish what you're looking for? If it's helpful as reference here - the primary maintainer of QjackCtl also maintains qpwgraph, which to my untrained eye looks (and is described by its creator as) nearly identical to QjackCtl, but made for use with Pipewire: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/rncbc/qpwgraph Are there use cases that wouldn't be sufficiently fulfilled by that software, that would be best fulfilled by being written into a kcm? qpwgraph is great, but its only a patchbay to route audio between applications and devices. in difference to qjackctl it doesn't allow changing general settings of the sound server, like clockrate, which is important for professional and especially realtime audio production. afaik one has to use command line tools or edit config files to achieve this right now, not really convenient. and having these settings in the kcm makes much sense to me, since these apply session wide It might be helpful then, for understanding the scope, to get a bit more specific on this wishlist. You mentioned clockrate etc., and when just searching for what Ubuntu Studio includes in its graphical utility, it mentions buffer size and sample rate (assuming that is roughly the same as clockrate?). Are the system-wide settings, that aren't already covered by other GUI applications, basically buffer size and clockrate? yeah exactly, being able to set buffer size and sample rate/clock rate would be helpful Thanks, updating the title to reflect a more targeted scope |
