Hi Patrick! Just a heads-up for anyone else landing here: the PKGBUILD is completely correct and cleanly uses the generic 'lib32-jack' provider.
However, certain AUR helpers like yay are currently having a minor existential crisis during updates. Instead of checking if a provider like 'lib32-pipewire-jack' is already installed locally, the helper's internal graph resolver aggressively panics and tries to force-pull the repo-default 'lib32-jack2' package instead, resulting in an aggressive dependency loop that asks to delete your entire audio driver.
If your helper is tripping over its own laces, skip it and build this manually via standard makepkg so you can explicitly choose option 2:
cd /tmp && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lib32-gstreamer.git cd lib32-gstreamer && makepkg -si
Select 'lib32-pipewire-jack' when prompted, and you're good to go. Thanks for keeping the packages updated!
