Yeah, I went down that same rabbit hole a while back trying to wrangle my audio setup on Linux. Pipewire definitely made things simpler, but the .asoundrc file still comes in handy for those lower-level tweaks, like resampling methods. I also noticed a difference when switching rate converters. I used speexrate_best for a while, and the clarity seemed better when dealing with crummy source files. Still haven’t figured out if lavrate is truly better though, and there’s not a lot of official guidance on it.
