    In short, lots of benefits.

    Agreed :)

    The downside, I guess, is a complete disarray of components. Like in case of volume again, I have pipewire daemon pretending to be pulseaudio which is middleware for alsa…

    Right. I guess this has to do with the history of audio support in Linux. From OSS to Alsa to Pulseaudio to Pipewire, and some sort of compatibility and upgrade safety for the Linux distributions maybe. Lately it took me a lot of time to solve some sudden audio problems with mpd server software. Then I tried Mopidy which works with GStreamer, completely different, and with different results. In the end I solved the problems with mpd, which was good because mpd can play audio from mp4 video, and I am not sure this can be done with Mopidy. Saves me a lot of video or audio formats converting.
