[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#999363: Shouldn't replace pulseaudio by pipewire by default

Package: wireplumber
Version: 0.4.4-1

The pipewire 0.3.39-3 updated replaced pipewire-media-service Recommends 
by wireplumber, or wireplumber Recommends pipewire-pulse which makes it 
take over pulseaudio as the default sound service. We got several report 
of people upgrading and having issues on #debian-gnome.
Pipewire is installed by default on GNOME because it's used for screen 
recording but pulseaudio is still installed and our default sound server.

Switching the default sound service is an option but should probably be 
a project discussion and not a consequence of a dependency tweak. Could 
you perhaps lower the Recommends on pipewire-pulse to a Suggests for now?

Thanks,
Sebastien Bacher
