I use PipeWire because it implements JACK Audio Connection Kit and Pulseaudio interfaces and supports bluetooth devices. this means that I can run TidalCycles straight to bluetooth without resorting to terrible loopback/monitor hacks.

with pkgs; {
environment.systemPackages = [ qjackctl easyeffects ];

settings = {
General = { Enable = "Source,Sink,Media,Socket"; };

};
security.rtkit.enable = true;
# https://nixos.wiki/wiki/PipeWire#Bluetooth_Configuration this is cool.
services.pipewire = {
