Apparently Pipewire+JACK has run into issues on my setup after a recent update about few months back. Some applications like Ardour and rosegarden didn't work on my setup anymore so I had to switch them to other audio hosts like ALSA and pulseaudio. However, especially with Ardour I'm not happy with the ALSA solution (even though it offers far better connections than pulseaudio), because I cannot basically use any other audio hosts at the same time which means that every basic audio player with pulseaudio is out of order while I have Ardour session open. This is inconvenient. Also last time I tried to connect Hydrogen instrument tracks via ALSA I couldn't get it work with Ardour, but maybe I just did something wrong.
What kind of setup would work in my case with minimal effort, fix JACK or tweak ALSA confs better or something else? (Before pipewire I used to have a custom script for sinking JACK to pulseaudio but that was always such a hassle to get working and Ardour & JACK after every export.)
