Subject: [DNG] Start Pipewire with desktop session
Hi!

I remember having read of an approach to start Pipewire automatically
with a desktop session. I think it was via DBUS activation, but I am not
sure.

But I remember the approach referred using a script from Alpine Linux for
it. I found:

https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/community/pipewire/pipewire-launcher.sh

But I wonder where to stuff it into the Plasma desktop session startup
process or integrate it via DBUS activation. Preferably it would be an
approach that works regardless of the init system being used and also
regardless of the desktop session and whether Wayland or X11 is used.

Any ideas? Feel free to point me to any previous post in case it has been
already discussed. AFAIR this exact using a script from Alpine Linux
approach may have been discussed here, but I did not find it anymore.

In case I find a sufficiently elegant and stable approach I intend to work
to have it integrated within Debian so Devuan can benefit from it.

Best,
