Nice hint.

ale@pcale:~$ aptitude why pipewire
i   gnome-panel          Recommends gnome-control-center (>= 1:42.0)
i A gnome-control-center Recommends gnome-remote-desktop (>= 42)
i A gnome-remote-desktop Depends    pipewire (>= 0.3.0)


That must be a leftover. I use openbox. After removing gnome-remote-desktop I have:

ale@pcale:~$ aptitude why pipewire
i A gnome-flashback       Provides   notification-daemon
i A gnome-flashback       Recommends gnome-settings-daemon (>= 3.33.90)
i A gnome-settings-daemon Recommends pipewire-audio
i A pipewire-audio        Depends    wireplumber
i A wireplumber           Depends    pipewire (>= 0.3.52)


Removed gnome-settings-daemon. Now:

ale@pcale:~$ aptitude why pipewire
i   qmmp              Depends  libpipewire-0.3-0 (>= 0.3.6)
i A libpipewire-0.3-0 Suggests pipewire (= 0.3.65-3)


...

I tried all at once:

root@pcale:~# apt-get remove $(apt-cache rdepends pipewire| tail -n +3)

But it ends up with installing pulseaudio, so I aborted. Continued removing a ton of stuff one at a time, until curiously I got to this:

ale@pcale:~$ aptitude why pipewire
p   gnome-shell           Provides notification-daemon
p   gnome-shell           Depends  gstreamer1.0-pipewire (>= 0.3.10)
p   gstreamer1.0-pipewire Depends  pipewire (= 0.3.65-3)


Now I was confused about gnome-shell, because I use gnome-terminal and don't want to purge it. What is gnome-shell?

ale@pcale:~$ dpkg -L gnome-shell
dpkg-query: package 'gnome-shell' is not installed
Use dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list archive files contents.

And also:

ale@pcale:~$ dpkg -L pipewire
Package 'pipewire:amd64' does not contain any files (!)

Now Alsaplayer works again.

Great cleanup!! Thank you

Best
Ale
