[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#970760: pipewire: PipeWire failing to open devices and loading libspa-alsa

[Paul Menzel]

Package: pipewire
Version: 0.3.12-1
Severity: normal
Forwarded: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/293

Dear Debian folks,


If PipeWire is started first in the user session, it prevents PulseAudio 
from accessing the sound devices causing the sound devices not to found 
and working [1].

As a workaround, remove the package *pipewire*, or disable the user 
service and socket units.


Kind regards,

Paul
