[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#989800: pipewire-pulse: is /var/run/pulse/native gone?

[Patrice Duroux]

Package: pipewire-pulse
Version: 0.3.28-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading it breaks GNOME control center sound output test (extracts from
journalctl -xe):
juin 13 15:52:07 kos-moceratops gnome-control-c[5976]: Failed to play sound: No
such driver
juin 13 15:52:08 kos-moceratops gnome-control-c[5976]: Failed to play sound: No
such driver

Then I checked:

$ systemctl status --user pipewire.socket
● pipewire.socket - Multimedia System
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.socket; enabled; vendor
preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sun 2021-06-13 15:49:56 CEST; 18min ago
   Triggers: ● pipewire.service
     Listen: /run/user/1001/pipewire-0 (Stream)
     CGroup:
/user.slice/user-1001.slice/user at 1001.service/app.slice/pipewire.socket

juin 13 15:49:56 kos-moceratops systemd[1992]: Listening on Multimedia System.


And also:

$ more /usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire-pulse.socket
[Unit]
Description=PipeWire PulseAudio
ConditionUser=!root
Conflicts=pulseaudio.socket

[Socket]
Priority=6
ListenStream=%t/pulse/native

[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target


But the file /var/run/pulse/native is not there anymore on my system.
Is this expected?

Thanks,
Patrice
