Pipewire SHIT

Just when I thought Ubuntu's audio couldn't be any more fucked with pulse but I'd pretty much worked out the quirks in pulse audio, they come out with 23.04 and a new piece of shit called pipewire.

I had audio working smoothly under virtually any load situation and with virtually any source, now running WinAmp under wine on an i7-9900k system running at 4.9ghz with hardly anything else going on and it skips like hell.

FUCK the ASSHOLES at CANONICAL for introducing this piece of shit!

Does anyone know how to adjust buffer size so as to avoid buffer underruns
on this thing?

For anyone else with this issue, pulse audio sends tsched=0 to the hda audio driver to force it into interrupt rather than timer mode, pipewire doesn't do this. You can probably add it in to the modload options, though I've just undid all the pipewire shit and put my system back to pulseaudio.
