Pulseaudio and pipewire-pulse are not fully compatible (pipewire-pulse can't load pulse modules, doesn't have /usr/bin/pulseaudio or other Pulse executable interfaces, ...). The best way to deal with that issue is to update all packages that Depends, Recommends or Suggests pulseaudio to depend either on pulseaudio or pipewire-pulse (i.e. pulseaudio | pipewire-pulse). (Thanks to smcv for the suggestion!) Best, Dylan
