Bug#989800: [Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#989800: pipewire-pulse: is /var/run/pulse/native gone?

[Patrice Duroux]

Sure you are right!
As sound is working with some the apps (probably the ones using gstreamer) but
not the sound preference of GNOME control center, I was focused on any
hypothetical change in the PulseAudio server of PipeWire.
But then it may probably due to the upgrade of GNOME control center to 1:40.0-1
that happened the same day on my system.
I'm gonna try some downshift.

Quoting the systemd.unit man page:

"%t"	Runtime directory root	This is either /run/ (for the system 
manager) or the path "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" resolves to (for user managers).


Since you run this as user, the socket path should be something like 
this /run/user/1000/pulse/native (assuming 1000 is your uid).
