MN> Hello,

MN> I posted I posted the following on the Pipewire community.

MN> Hello PipeWire community,

MN> I would like to share a successful, minimalist configuration to
MN> achieve a pristine 384kHz / 0.25ms (96 samples) ultra-low latency
MN> audio environment on openSUSE Tumbleweed, paired with a Marantz
MN> HD-AMP1 USB-DAC.

MN> This enables Jack on PipeWire.

MN> Name the file “carla.conf” and place it in
MN> ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.con.d/.

MN> Best Regards & Good Night.
