Hello to all and sorry for the inconvenience.

yes the conflict between pulse audio and pipewire-pulse is still going on.
I just updated my sid.
so pipewire-pulse has been installed.
and on reboot my sound server was broken.
i read a lot of things .
including the need to install pipewire-audio-client-libraries.
I didn't understand this.
indeed, its setting required to copy and configure conf files that do not exist
under debian .
others ask to uninstall pulse audio.
I don't really want to do it.
I prefer, since it is the cause, to uninstall pipewire-pulse.

surprise : uninstalling pipewire-pulse also uninstalls pipewire-alsa .
I created a pipewire-pulse.pref file, it is active but apt doesn't seem to take
it into account during updates.
This makes pipewire-pulse systematically installed and break my sound server if
I don't remove it by hand.
amd64 and i386 .

looking forward to reading you ,

friendly,

alain .
