[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1021530: wireplumber: conflict with pulseaudio?

[Francois Le Hir]

Hi Dylan,

I did not mask pipewire-pulse.service.
I believe my system started with just pulseaudio and sound was working fine.

At some point I know I installed libpipewire-0.3-dev because of a dependency with something else. I am not sure if this means pipewire was installed or configured at that point... but sound was still working so I didn't notice any issue.

The upgrade of wireplumber to 0.4.12-1 is what made the issue visible as sound was no longer working after that.

Removing pulseaudio and completing the migration to pipewire fixed the issue.

Regards,

Francois

And I guess you did not manually mask pipewire-pulse.service before?

The pulseaudio.service probably started during the update of pipewire
instead of restarting the new pipewire-pulse.service.

I have both pulseaudio and pipewire-pulse installed but I have never seen this
issue. I wanted to avoid marking pipewire-pulse and pulseaudio in conflict
to allow users the possibility to switch but it looks like I will have to
do it anyway before the release of Bookworm.

Best,
Dylan
