What is the benefit of native pipewire support? Pipewire seems to be backwards compatible and 'just work' in the existing ecosystem aleady.

While I don't doubt pipewire is a step in the right direction I have the bad luck of having a creative webcam that doesn't work with it. It's usb and the microphone produces garbled output with pipewire.
It's a SW bug in pipewire howerver as it works fine with pulseaudio. At this point I also know it's not "other hw/sw" combo issue as I replaced the original computer I used this with a steam deck and same issue there. If I mask pipewire service and install pulseaudio it works there too.
