[Tts-project] Bug#1011361: speech-dispatcher: Drop recommends on pulseaudio

Source: speech-dispatcher
Version: 0.11.1-1

Please don't have speech-dispatcher recommend pulseaudio. There are
two working sound servers in Debian now: pulseaudio and pipewire. From
a distro management perspective, I think it's better to have the
default dependency set from a higher level metapackage or task than
from individual packages.

I tested that the orca screen reader still works in today's Ubuntu
22.10 ISO when pipewire is installed and running and pulseaudio is
removed.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bicha
