I thought it was being started by Shepherd because the process becomes a child of Shepherd after it is auto started. Adding this line to my configuration does help. PulseAudio no longer aggressively starts itself if I stop my pipewire-pulse service. Unfortunately some packages on my system (the primary package that comes to mind I cannot specifically say, but it comes from a different channel) depend on PulseAudio, and will manually start it if it is not running when I start the application. I am hoping for some way to do something equivalent to masking a package in Gentoo[1], so I can avoid having PulseAudio installed at all. I realize something like this might depend on package parameterization[2], but if there is some hacky way to do this with the current version of Guix, suggestions would be appreciated!
