[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#994165: pipewire: add pipewire-alsa/pipewire-jack packages

[Patrice Duroux]

Hi,

I suppose that you have already got a look to pipewire-audio-client-libraries
that gives your expectation. May be you just propose to split it into 2
separated packages?
Also the long description of pipewire-audio-client-libraries mentions PulseAudio
which is already entirely took-apart into pipewire-pulse. I mean that nothing in
pipewire-audio-client-libraries is related to PulseAudio:


$ apt-file list pipewire-audio-client-libraries
