Description

opened on Sep 12, 2026

cpal::platform::available_hosts() does not list pipewire even if /run/pipewire/pipewire-0 is available.

Workaround: PIPEWIRE_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/pipewire.

Other tools like pw-cli use /run/pipewire/pipewire-0 as a fallback socket path, so CPAL should probably do that as well.
