Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "(GUI) user space process", but if it's that it's a systemd user process (e.g. it shows up when you run
$ systemctl --user status pipewirerather than$ systemctl status pipewire, which appears to be the case on my system, where there's one instance running per user session), then you probably can run it as a systemwide process, where there's just one always-running process for the whole system. IIRC, PulseAudio could run in both modes. I don't know if you have concerns about security on access to your mic or something, but that could be something to look into.searches
Sounds like it's doable. Not endorsing this particular project, which I've never seen before, but it looks like it's possible:

Not sure how, or if, I'd want to install an Arch package under Debian, but it's my understanding that the package I've raised a bug for under Debian implements, or is supposed to at least, the functionality you're describing.
What I haven't found is a recipe that documents exactly how it's supposed to work (not to mention, in a Debian way).
I'd love to discover something that doesn't start with instructions to remove all pipewire packages and install from source, since that completely defeats the purpose of running Debian Stable as the host.
The arch package has to be built somehow. You could look at that packages source and/or content to figure out how to manually do it on your system, or wait/hope the deb is being maintained and gets fixed.
It's likely mostly some plumbing, like a systemd service with it's configuration, to get the audio routed properly.
Tah. I'll have a look see.
