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
