Some news regarding an eventual conflict between pulseaudio and pipewire-pulse.
>From time to time upstream discussions arise concerning closed-source software
(mainly old games) which check if the /usr/bin/pulseaudio binary is available
otherwise they fail to output sound [1].
The solution is to create a symlink /usr/bin/pulseaudio to /usr/bin/true.
We might want to do the same and thus add back the conflict between pulseaudio
and pipewire-pulse.
Best,
Dylan
