Package: pipewire-pulse
Version: 0.3.65-3
Severity: normal

Hi Dear Tainer Main,

   * What led up to the situation?

Getting rid of all pulseaudio packages (I'm as allergic to PA
as I am to shytstemd) because pipewire and easyeffects are working
awfully well.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Ze error :
==========
Uninstall *pulse* except those required by other packages.

This is an extract from syslog :

Ze cure :
=========
apt install pavucontrol paprefs

I'm not sure if the both of them is mandatory, as I found a forum
where a guy had quite the same problem that was answered by a link
to a muted video doing this - anyway, it worked.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

After a reboot, pipewire-pulse was up and working like a charm.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

pipewire to be completely independant of pulseaudio (if possible) or at
least having one or two dependencies to the one/two aforementioned PA
packages.

Thanks for maintening PW.

Cheers,

Jean-Yves
