Yes, I recall the audio engine problems and the war between Alsa, Pulseaudio and Jack (and OSS before them). Luckily Pipewire solved all or nearly all those problems: it emulates other engines APIs so that programs requiring this or that engine will transparently access it instead of the real required engine. If you're running a recent distro, chances are that you already have Pipewire installed, otherwise you can install it after getting rid of the old engines.
