I'm ready to manage my audio "wiring" a bit more virtually, these days, and I'm ready to do that with some of the cool new tools available in Linux. Luckily for me, Pipewire has some command-line applications that make doing that an absolute cinch! And what's better, I can do it from Python, and make it a little more automagic. Now THAT's what I'm talking about!

So, I've got an old (1992) Ford pickup, and it's got a newer-ish stereo. I love keeping my favorite tunes on a USB stick that I can play everything from, but I HATE it when the volume changes from one song to the next. I go from barely being able to hear the music to having my eardrums blown out in 0.5 seconds. So, I've come to the conclusion that I need to fix that. With PYTHON!

I'm so fed up with low-level audio in Linux. It's a constant struggle, and I'm throwing in the towel. I'm done.

I recently decided to drop Windows (finally), and move to Linux, full-time. But that means moving to Pipewire; which is both exciting and slightly daugnting. You see, to make the move, I need to get VBAN working on Linux, and talking to Pipewire. Hmm. Time to do some digging...

"Where there's smoke, there's fire..." Right? What about if sound were a part of it too?
