Package: pipewire-audio-client-libraries
Version: 0.3.24-3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

The PulseAudio replacement server is already part of the pipewire-bin packages
with the systemd example files in the pipewire one.

Maybe one of them could also provide a README.Debian file that addresses its
configuration, then cites the affiliate to ALSA and JACK using the pipewire-
audio-client-library. Because currently a README.Debian file is provided by
pipewire-audio-client-libraries with a symlink as examples/README.audio.

In addition the last paragraph of its package description is:

 This package contains client libraries allowing programs designed for
 the ALSA, JACK and PulseAudio APIs to use a PipeWire server for audio
 playback and recording. They are not used by default, and are currently
 considered to be experimental.

I suggest to change it to:

 This package contains client libraries allowing programs designed for

Thanks,
Patrice
