The family does have amazing taste in compound flowers, though.

Nice clean connector with no corrosion. 10/10 positive post, OP

I use it to make sure that:

1. The application that should be making sound is showing up in the patch bay. If it’s not, that application probably needs its audio output settings tweaked

2. The application is being routed correctly. I have multiple audio outs, and pipe wire allows for different applications to go to different outs simultaneously. The patch bay is an easy and quick way to check that config.

I would highly recommend installing qpwgraph. It’ll give you a visual patchbay, which will give you a better idea of what applications are exposing audio outs to pipe wire, as well as where those outs are being routed.

Before this it was Iraq and Afganistan, before Iraq was 'nam and the cold war, before that was us nuking Japan and then hiring Nazis via operation paperclip, etc. etc. We may have become independent of England, but we certainly continued the longstanding custom of fucking things up for both our own citizens as well as the rest of the world in pursuit of money and power.
