Yeah this seems a bad depends situation, it likely should be:


pulseaudio | pipewire-pulse, pulseaudio-module-bluetooth | pipewire-pulse, libspa-0.2-bluetooth | pulseaudio

Then the choice of pulseaudio vs pipewire-pulse should be respected
by the choice of bluetooth plugins.

Go hack it intou your Packages file and try out :D
