two things:

1. jack-freewheeling is working fine here (pipewire-jack 0.3.67 though 
used to work right before,since .54 I think)

2. what remains not quite on par to good ol'jack is 
jack-transport/timebase sync'ing... ie. some jack-clients, which aren't 
currently timebase master, may botch the BBT timeline now and then, 
randomly...

besides that nitpick--for what jack-transport wasn't and never will a 
stellar performer anyway--I think pipewire is going for the gold in the 
coming championships ;)

well, just saying, it actually depends on whether 6.3-rt keeps the 
figures up as seen until now ;)
