Why do you say it requires system-wide mode?

System-mode has the problem of being a privacy risk: any connected
user can listen to the input of any other user. However, it may not be
a problem for certain use cases.

Since I do not use system-wide mode, I do not want to write the
systemd service myself. If you write one (and you can base it on the
existing user-level systemd service), I think upstream would welcome a
patch to ship this unit, maybe as an example.
