There is now a draft change request:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DefaultPipeWire

rawhide now has the latest versions of everything.

I've made pull requests to add pulseaudio-daemon Provides + Conflicts to allow PA and PipeWire-PA to be trivially swapped

• PipeWire: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pipewire/pull-request/6
• PulseAudio: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pulseaudio/pull-request/6

Once merged, we can change anything depending on pulseaudio (the daemon) to pulseaudio-daemon.

with this lastest update: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-0c6652bbf5

on fedora 33 I am now able to install pipewire-pulseaudio (which removes pulseaudio with some other deps) without removing gnome-shell.
I can also install pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit without removing too much other things.

The most notable problem is Cadence, which for some reason wants pulseaudio and causes a removal of the pipewire-pulseaudio package.

Pull requests sent for enabling pipewire-pulseaudio.socket by default:

• Rawhide/F34: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-release/pull-request/160
• Fedora 33: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-release/pull-request/161

This should take effect for the next Rawhide compose: https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/c/147a0454e6620cda4b931df0f8aa346b6442e62d

Looks like this change has been implemented and we have moved on to the testing and bug reporting phase. Closing.

This issue has been migrated to Fedora Forge:
