Professional audio
For audio production and processing, a system needs to be optimized for low latency using a sound server, such as PipeWire chosen in the Desktop Environment section of the Xfce guide, and audio hardware compatible with ALSA1 (refer to the ALSA SoundCard Matrix). Today class-compliant2 USB audio interfaces are supported out of the box and most professional audio applications use JACK for low latency operation and signal routing. PipeWire supports these JACK clients. Linuxaudio.org provides extensive but partly outdated documentation about the system configuration, which may help to understand some principles and general guidelines when trying to setup a professional audio environment in general. One of the primary goals is to reduce latency3.
