I am not at all sure that I want pipewire. It was brought in by zoom,
and, at the time I had no idea what it was. I am cutious, now, as to
how both pipewire and pulsaudio are installed and not clobbering each
other. If it is possible to have audio working (including firefox)
without either of them then that night be the best answer. fewer layers
doing the same job sounds good to me.
