Thanks this worked. Though it's possible either my sources.list is missing an entry or pipewire.pulse got deprecated and removed from the archives. I ended up only installing pipewire and wireplumber and allowing dependencies to install on this end. It's odd, but apparently pulseaudio wasn't installed at all on bookworm so maybe sound was run by alsa directly.
