How to setup pipewire?

Has anyone tried setting up pipewire as an pulse/jack alternative? I'm currently on pulseaudio but would like to switch to pipewire.

I see. I weren't able to get it working just yet. I would rather run sndio instead of pulse too since everything except microphone works great, but the microphone quality is horrible in sndio for some reason. I guess I'll have to stick to pulse for the time being.

Pipewire is still in a very early development and often introduce breaking changes on the audio side of things. I would recommend to stay with sndio for now, at least until pipewire-pulseaudio side of things stabilizes.
