Hello,
will PipeWire become the default audio server in Mint as happened in Fedora, Ubuntu etc... ?
If so, will this happen with Mint 21.2 or later?

Pipewire is installed and used by default in Linux Mint 21 versions. It works in addition to Pulseadio and ALSA. That is how Ubuntu 22.04 currently works and all versions of Linux Mint 21 are based on Ubuntu 22.04.

Ubuntu made a change in Ubuntu 22.10, but there is no Linux Mint version based on it. I have seen several tutorials on the web on how to replace Pulseaudio with Pipewire for Ubuntu 22.04, if you want to do that now and not wait for Linux Mint 22 (which may have that change).
