Details

Description:
PulseEffects is not working with Pipewire, so this package should depend explicitly on Pulseaudio rather than libpulse. At least until the developer will make it compatible with Pipewire.

Besides, the latest version ships a new Noise Reduction plugin, but it's not working on upstream version because you didn't compile against librnnoise. The same library should be added to dependency list to make the new Noise Reduction plugin available to the users.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Closed since the package now depends on pipewire-pulse and rnnoise.

I haven't added the gst plugins split yet, we might wanna do that in the future.

Pulseeffects should work with the next version of pipewire, see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/commit/7ae1ea1420b41688f547853fab4c3bbc61e16e14

Okay, but version 4.8.4 came out weeks ago and the package haven't been upgraded.

Just updated to 5.0.0 and added pipewire as a dependency.

I am not sure if my problem is related to the here reported bug, but:

In the server tab (the symbol right next to the mic) no `Default Sink` or `Default Source` is displayed; the rows are empty. PulseEffects in general does not detect any generated audio from any application.

Furthermore when I open `Settings->PipeWire` and click the drop-down arrow to (probably) select any source, the GUI does not react. Probably because there are no items to show in the drop-down menu, because no audio sources/sinks are detected.

SOLVED: Installed `pipewire-pulse` package, which replaced the `pulseaudio` package.

Please could you take a look at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pulseeffects-git/ package as inspiration? It's battle-tested, especially for this 5.0.0 version and should fix this. It also suggests a better packaging approach, that split pulseeffects GTK application and pulseeffects gst plugins (for headless scenarios where the GTK thing is not needed).
