Alsa, Pipewire & Wireplumber | How do they work toghether | howto

I found the following question so good that it deserves a own topic.

Very rudimentary and superficial I would say:

  1. Alsa is an abbreviation and stands for “Advanced Linux Sound Architecture”
    1.1Displays you the hardware and software part
  2. Pipewire is the software who manages the wiring between hard & software
  3. Wireplumber manages the connections in between the parts on software level
