[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1027131: pipewire: Please consider enabling bluez5-backend-native-mm flag while packaging

[Marco Mattiolo]

Package: pipewire
Version: 0.3.63-1
X-Debbugs-Cc: marco.mattiolo at hotmail.it
Severity: wishlist

Hi and thank for maintaining Pipewire in Debian!

Could you please consider enabling bluez5-backend-native-mm flag AND 
adding modemmanager-dev to build-deps? A further modification to 
wireplumber config file is also needed, but maybe that can be left to 
the user considering each case.

Please find in [1] the discussion about getting status of signal 
strength to be transferred to Bluetooth device through Pipewire.

The summary of steps needed to get this feature working in Debian is 
summarized in the comment [2].

Usecase is Debian being installed on mobile phones (for me, Debian 
bookworm on Pinephone) and connecting via Bluetooth to car's audio system.

Kind regards

Marco
