PipeASIO, an ASIO bridge for PipeWire on Linux (primarily for Wine), has been released in version v1.7.0.

The headline change is ARM64 support: there are now native ARM64 Windows front ends (aarch64-windows and arm64ec-windows) for ARM64 hosts as well as x86_64 hosts running Wine with FEX. To make this possible, the 64-bit driver was reworked into a PE front end plus unixlib structure that matches Wine’s own module layout, replacing the previous single-ELF build. Important: anyone upgrading from v1.6.0 or older must run pipeasio-register again in every Wine prefix - old stubs otherwise fail to load with error code c0000135.

Added

• ARM64 front ends (#23): aarch64-windows/pipeasio64.dll for native ARM64 Windows hosts and arm64ec-windows/pipeasio64.dll for x86_64 hosts under Wine with FEX, over the one aarch64 unixlib. BUILD_ARM64 (default on) builds each when clang, lld and Wine’s <arch>-windows import libraries are present. Untested against a real audio host on ARM64 hardware.

Changed

• The 64-bit driver is built as a PE front end plus a unixlib, the layout Wine uses for its own modules and the only one aarch64 and arm64ec Wine load (#23). Until now it was a single winegcc ELF (pipeasio64.dll.so) behind a fake PE stub. Measured against the single-ELF build at 128 frames: same round trip, same xrun count.
• The PE half is linked by winegcc the way Wine links its own modules. Building needs a cross compiler: the MinGW gcc and g++ for x86 targets, or clang with lld for any target. The Wine library root is probed rather than assumed.
• Upgrading from 1.6.0 or older: run pipeasio-register again in every prefix. Those installs staged a 2 KB stub into system32 that looks for the .dll.so, which the new install no longer ships; until re-registered the driver fails to load with c0000135.
• The unixlib ABI is at version 4: the host’s callback buffer pointer is carried as a 64-bit value so the x86_64 front end fits the same unixlib as the i386 one.

Install

Prebuilt for Arch Linux / CachyOS (x86_64). User-local: tar -xzf pipeasio-v1.7.0-archlinux-x86_64.tar.gz -C "$HOME/.local", then run pipeasio-register. Proton / Faugus: extract to $HOME/.local and set WINEDLLPATH=$HOME/.local/lib/wine.
