| I run pipewire and let me offer some generic tips:

| * Make loopback devices that are always there for headphones/mic

|
| * Keep all your processing in carla (i load it with systemd as a
| user unit on login)
|
| * You still need some way to control "pulse audio" (even though
| it's pipewire provided) for per-app volume control, profile
| selections, etc, so you probably want pavucontrol for that.

| Looks like it uses libsox internally. You can also use command-
| line SoX utilities to get the same effect. For example, this
| plays your microphone back at you, pitch shifted and with a
| delay: play '|rec -p pitch +400 40 delay 5 5'
|
| (To be clear, I don't mean to beat down anybody's pet project.
| Just spreading related information. There's very little
| accessible documentation of Linux audio stuff.)

| RVC is what you're looking for. There's lots of tooling around
| it.
