We are so excited to announce that the Fedora Podcast is joining the Destination Linux Network as a collaborative effort to spread the word about all things Fedora! Destination Linux Network, or DLN, is a media network designed to bring passionate creators to promote Open Source and Linux so because of this, DLN is a perfect fit for the Fedora Podcast.

We are always looking for your feedback to improve, and there are several ways to help! You can send us email at podcast@fedoraproject.org, you can write on our forum, or join us on matrix #fedora-podcast:matrix.org
Administrative note: All Fedora Telegram and IRC chat bridges (powered by TeleIRC) are now bridged to IRC channels on Libera.Chat. All Freenode channels are no longer bridged to official Fedora Telegram groups.

To participate in the IRC channels, either point your IRC client to irc.libera.chat, or hang in there a little bit longer for a native Matrix bridge to get set up.
Take Fedora's first Annual Contributors Survey to help make Fedora (even more) awesome!

"Pipewire, the new default audio subsystem in Fedora 34, introduces support for the mSBC audio codec for the Bluetooth Headset Profile (HSP), which is used for transmitting bi-directional audio to/from Bluetooth headsets. The mSBC codec provides greatly improved audio quality over the CVSD, the default codec used with HSP. If you are using a Bluetooth headset to participate in teleconferences, you will most definitively want to use mSBC if your headset supports it. Your colleagues will sound better to you, and you will sound better to your colleagues. Win-win!"

"A little question for our pro-audio friends out there. Now that we got freewheeling and latency reporting implemented, what is at the top of your wishlist for PipeWire features?"
