An [adapter](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#ALSA_clients) for ALSA-compatible software is included which creates a virtual ALSA output device to route audio from ALSA-compatible sources into the PipeWire infrastructure. It is recommended that Shairport Sync is built with the standard ALSA backend (`--with-alsa`). -Shairport Sync also offers PipeWire (`--with-pw`) and PulseAudio (`--with-pa`) backends that may be used. The PipeWire backend is new and still undergoing development. +Shairport Sync also offers a PipeWire (`--with-pw`) backend -- still new and still under development. The PulseAudio (`--with-pa`) backend may also be used thanks to a PulseAudio-to-PipeWire adapter. -Unfortunately, the use of PipeWire, even indirectly, means that Shairport Sync can not be installed as a system service (aka a system daemon). Instead it must be started by a user after login or installed as a user service.

This is so that [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org) libraries will be installed that include a suitable AAC decoder.
