is it possible to route SC (supercollider, `sclang`) output to a bluetooth device (external speaker or headset)? I am on Fedora GNU/Linux, using pipewire.

I can access the device from pipewire (it shows up in `qpwctl`, `helvum`)  
but not from jack. That's probably because jack (thinks it) uses the `alsa` driver.

Is the `sc` output supposed to show up in pipewire graphs? For me, it does not (it's only in the qjackctl graph).

[EDIT] [Jack with Bluetooth · Issue #479 · jackaudio/jack2 · GitHub](https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2/issues/479) but I don't see how to make that work.

maybe you could try

```haskell
pw-jack scide

```

ah! works! thanks!

("works" = now supercollider no longer appears in `qjackctl` graph, but in `qpwctl` graph instead, and can be connected to my bluetooth set. Just as I wanted.)
