Package: retroarch
Version: 1.20.0+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: hazepastel at proton.me

Dear Maintainer,

Retroarch 1.20.0 introduced a Pipewire audio driver, selectable via Driver in the Audio options menu.
On the Flatpak as well as Arch Linux, both of which are also version 1.20.0, the driver works fine. On Debian testing, the option does not appear and cannot be selected.

Most likely causes: package is not being compiled with HAVE_PIPEWIRE, or there is a missing dependency for it to function
