Dear Maintainer,
When building a new system with Debian Trixie, 25% of log entries (notice and
above) come from pipewire with a root cause of package 'rtkit' not being
installed. Recommend that the 'rtkit' package be included as a required or
recommended dependency and ship with the default configuration. Installation of
package 'rtkit' causes the log spam to stop.

The package pipewire depends on pipewire-bin which recommends rtkit
since 0.3.36-1 (pre-bookworm). So something wrong when you built your
system?
Best regards,
