I understand the AUTO that PA gets enabled if the files for it are installed at compile time; if not, you don't get an error message. > Of course, you need libpulse-devel. Sure, and that would mean the same as -DENABLE_PULSEAUDIO=YES, you would however not see an error message at build time when there is no libpulse-devel (see above). This whole mess is not an issue at compile/build time, but at run time. Kodi should not just blindly assume, PW is usable when it finds a /usr/bin/pipewire program. > Best Regards.
