### Running PulseAudio applications
Depending on how the system was configured, your can either run PipeWire and
PulseAudio side-by-side or have PipeWire take over the functionality of
PulseAudio completely. We don't recommend to completely replace PulseAudio
at this point.
PipeWire can run a PulseAudio compatible replacement server. You can't
use both servers at the same time. Usually you package manager will
make the server conflict so that you can only install one or the
other.
Use the `pw-pulse` script to launch a PulseAudio application on PipeWire, like:
PulseAudio application still use the regular PulseAudio client
libraries and you don't need to to anything else than change the
server implementation.
A successful swap of the server can be verified by checking the
output of
```
$ pw-pulse <appname>
pactl info
```
It should include the string:
```
...
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.x)
...
```
