So here's the thing: I'd really love to use #Ardour for my next album, cause I don't want to continue working with something from a company sucking up to America's regime
Only problem is: I can't
I'm using 3 different audio interfaces via #pipewire 1.2.4, and Ardour keeps on forgetting USB audio and MIDI connections over restarts (or suspends), forcing me to make each connection again, which sucks.
First person to solve this for me gets a present and a special credit in the liner notes.

Ardour certainly remembers and retains connections. Can you be more specific about the setup you have and the scenarios that fail?

Sometimes (or more precisely: quite often) after resuming from sleep or unplugging and plugging the USB cable, pipewire "forgets" one of my audio interfaces (a Zoom AMS-44).
When that happens, Ardour can't restore connections.
The workaround seems to be restarting pipewire manually after resuming from sleep or plugging in the USB cable.
systemctl --user restart pipewire.service
🤷

In general, we work on Ardour assuming audio interfaces are stable from the system POV; while we have code that notices devices coming and going (with the ALSA backend), our assumption is that you don't do this while using a pro-audio application.
If you don't need inter-application routing or device sharing while using Ardour, you might have better luck with the ALSA backend.

(or is the ALSA backend able to use more than one interface…?)

Anyway, we strongly advise against using multiple audio interfaces (even as we acknowledge that people do this anyway).
Unless they are word-clock synced, that is.
