[Tts-project] Bug#1022120: speech-dispatcher-dummy causes pipewire to spin and use battery

[Josh Triplett]

Package: speech-dispatcher
Version: 0.11.3-1+b1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: josh at joshtriplett.org

Previously, I reported
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1021483 against
pipewire. I discovered pw-top, and it showed that
speech-dispatcher-dummy was the only thing interacting with pipewire.
Killing speech-dispatcher caused pipewire to *stop* waking up and using
battery.

To the best of my knowledge, nothing on my system should be *using*
speech-dispatcher. (Happy to check that if there's a tool to do so.) So
it shouldn't be sending anything to pipewire and causing pipewire to
wake up.
