I also would like to add, that there aren't *that* many rdeps of pulseaudio. I'm counting 26, 7 of those are packages built from src:pulseaudio, remain 19. Some of them, like libcanberra-pulse already have a pulseaudio | pipewire- pulse dependency. On this particular system (running GNOME), I have successfully uninstalled pulseaudio and replaced it with pipewire-pulse. I do have to add, that I don't have the gnome-core meta package installed. meta packages like gnome-core should imho make an informed choice, which software they want. I guess once the GNOME team thinks pipewire is ready to replace pulseaudio, they are going to update their package dependencies accordingly. As long as they depend on pulseaudio, they should actually get pulseaudio, not pipewire-pulse. Regards, Michael
