Re: Puzzling behaviour

   No, that makes no sense.  I use JACK (not pipewire) at 44,100 and I 
have no problems.

   Sample rate conversion is trivial on modern hardware.  I would leave 
things at 48,000 and ignore the warnings.

   You might want to try reconfiguring pipewire's sample rate via its 
jack.conf file and maybe pipewire.conf.  Setting both to 44,100 might 
fix everything.  I don't think pw-metadata is the best approach since 
that changes things while they are running and I believe it loses your 
settings when you shut down.  The .conf files change things at startup 
and should be more reliable.

   Pipewire is too buggy for my tastes.  I avoid.  JACK is 100% solid.
