I know, but Pipewire gets a lot of hype and I’m not sure how much of it is deserved.
I also don’t know where the “easier” part comes into play for the end-user. pavucontrol and pactl reveals as much to me under pipe as it did under pulse. I’m sure the I/O in the background is a lot cleaner, but I’ve not noticed anything in the foreground.
FYI, Pulse and Pipewire are two different audio servers, not just branding.
Pipewire should be more like JACK, but easier to use like PulseAudio. That was the whole point of it.

Don’t they have pipewire-specific versions of these tools?
