 magnetophon joined the room. | 13:29:16 | |
| magnetophon | Hi all! I just learned about this place from ctem, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/174802#issuecomment-1260697456 Good to know this exists, thanks! | 13:36:01 |
| magnetophon | I've been packaging quite a lot of audio stuff for nixos and am one of the people behind https://github.com/musnix/musnix | 13:37:34 |
 sjfloat | Hey magnetophon, I think I know you from discussion elsewhere. | 13:37:38 |
| magnetophon | Lately not very active though. | 13:37:49 |
| sjfloat | Same | 13:37:59 |
| sjfloat | I'm very ambitious. But also tired and busy :) | 13:38:25 |
| magnetophon | Hi sjfloat! | 13:38:36 |
| sjfloat | 👋 | 13:39:00 |
| sjfloat | I really want to get back to the idea of contributing to the wiki. | 13:39:44 |
| sjfloat | I think it's still kind of hard to find your way if you're doing anything out of the ordinary. | 13:40:13 |
| Yuu Yin | ctem: nice 💯 | 13:54:19 |
| ctem | magnetophon: Happy to have you here :) I have massive respect for all the work you’ve in done nixpkgs. Most of the audio-related packages used in my configuration have your name associated w/them. I’m also using musnix. sjfloat : I think your desire to contribute to the wiki is a very noble one. It might be worthwhile to discuss a bit with Valentin from Tweag, @fricklerhandwerk:matrix.org, who has been leading the Nix documentation team (starting with Summer of Nix) and may have some opinions regarding where/how best to contribute the kind of documentation you’re thinking about. For my part, I’m happy to help where I can. I’ve been in audio production (using proprietary tools) a long time and only somewhat recently gathered the resolve to transition to a NixOS-based infrastructure. That is to say, I probably still have more questions than answers at this point! (For example, I’m still trying to figure out how to get the Carla patchbay plugins to actually work in patchbay mode; depending on the DAW, they either load fixed in continuous rack mode or are simply broken...and so on!). | 14:26:25 |
| magnetophon | ctemThat's great to hear, thank you! Of course I was mainly scratching my own itch! :) | 14:28:14 |
| sjfloat | I have had some interaction with the wiki maintainers about what we're trying to do here. They were very open to it and helpful. | 14:28:23 |
| sjfloat | And then I failed to follow through 🙄 | 14:29:20 |
| ctem | Haha, it happens to us all. As for minijackson's idea of an audio production nixpkgs workgroup, I wonder how that might shape up. | 14:30:28 |
| magnetophon | > And then I failed to follow through 🙄 No worries, step by step! | 14:30:34 |

Were you thinking in terms of pro audio/music or more broadly? | 14:32:41 |
| sjfloat | That would be one of the branch points. | 14:33:56 |
| sjfloat | If you're not doing pro audio, you'll likely take a different approach than the majority. | 14:34:34 |
| sjfloat | So I think the docs should reflect that and help with it. | 14:34:56 |
| magnetophon | For the non-pro usecase, I think pipewire is the way to go, and even for some pro usecases it's good. What do you two think? | 14:36:12 |
| sjfloat | * If you're doing pro audio, you'll likely take a different approach than the majority. | 14:36:53 |
| ctem | I definitely think pipewire is the future. So far, it seems to cover many jack-based use cases seamlessly as well. I know people who already have stable jack-based setups are reluctant to try pipewire, but for someone like me in a transitional period, I'm really happy to work w/it as it continues to develop. | 14:38:31 |
| sjfloat | Right. For most people, pipewire should satisfy out-of-the-box. | 14:38:39 |
| ctem | Have you hit any major snags w/pipewire in pro audio scenarios? | 14:40:48 |
