While I do think AI is annoying, what I want to achieve with this bug is
that I want the actual dependencies for pipewire to be as minimal as
possible. If I can output sound via the Line Out port, that is enough.

While I'm also interested in bluetooth f.e., I don't think that should
be a dependency for pipewire, which it (currently) is not :-)
IIUC pipewire can already do a lot and I suspect it can do even more in
the future, but if it can be made optional, please do.

Cheers,
  Diederik
