Sergey, your configuration file is working and audio is heard
from qutebrowser on this system.
Internet searches surfaced commands like these,
`pw-cli`
`strace -e connect pw-dump >/dev/null`
Error messages were seen relating to socket files not found,
`$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/pipewire-0`
`$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/pipewire-0-manager`
Various things attempted, but the socket files missing every
time sway started
Finally, tried removing the pipewire-starting parts of the sway
config
```
# exec_always killall -wqr "(pipewire|wireplumber)" \
# || sleep 1 && ((pipewire &); sleep 2 && (wireplumber &))
```
Then separately started pipewire and wireplumber "manually" from
the shell. The
socket files were created and when qutebrowser sound could be
heard.
I'm glad you sorted it out. Check what are the environment
variables for your sway process (cat /proc/<pid>/environ | tr -s
'\0' '\n').
Maybe XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is missing there? Enabling debug logging for
pipewire might help as well:
