Linux/PipeWire Support

I've been playing around with Linux audio things and had an idea to jerry-rig together a 7.1.4 setup from a ton of random speakers and some USB audio interfaces cheap off of wherever.
| PipeWire setup for first demo | Second demo to test overhead speakers |
|---|---|

| This worked surprisingly well if you can look past how I connected three separate sets of speakers using three different physical audio outs | Normal surrounds worked (when patched to my test output) but overhead outputs did not produce any sound at all, even when playing Dolby Atmos content |
This lead me to find out that Atmos decoding essentially isn't supported by any Linux program as far as I can tell, and only Atmos pass-through (to a dedicated receiver) works with things like Kodi
After much deliberation I came across this and was super excited until I found out it was effectively Windows only (running through Wine didn't work out too well for me), and that live processing appears to be non-existent as of yet.
Is a fully-featured Linux option with proper real-time PipeWire (docs) support planned or at least a possibility?
