New audio server Pipewire coming to next version of Ubuntu

The next release of Ubuntu, version 22.10 and codenamed Kinetic Kudu, will switch audio servers to the relatively new PipeWire. Don’t panic. As J M Barrie said: “All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.” Fedora switched to PipeWire in version 34, over a year ago now. Users who aren’t pro-level creators or editors of sound and music on Ubuntu may not notice the planned change.
