Package: pipewire Version: 1.4.2-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Could Debian please provide a way to run pipewire (and wirepluber) as system services so that only one instance of eachis run for the whole system? The use-case is for visually impaired users using a screen reader. Typically, this means that the speech-dispatcher server is run to provide access to TTS engines for client applications like BRLTTY or Orca. It is super important for us that the screen reader is run as early as possible duringthe boot sequence, in order to maximize the hcance that we can read the screen in case something goes wrong. I do understand that there may be security concerns here and do not ask for this to become the default. Just that it is either documented how to enable such a setup, or (preferred solution) that there is a way to get this set-up through a Debconf question. I do believe that, as far as upstream is concerned, nothing prevents such a workflow, seee the conversation at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1610 It felt reasonable to submit this as a a wish list but please could this be considered important? In my case (blind user using BRLTTY): I did manage to set-up such a workflow with PulseAudio but it got broken by a system update. It feels more future prooof to get the same result with Pipewire and have it officially supported. I am missing this workflow quite a lot since I am not able at this stage to have the access to speech synthesis in the virtual consoles whereas I got used to it anditmade me much more productive and efficient. Many thanks for your time, attention and efforts. Seb.
