PipeWire to PulseAudio Links

I got rid of PipeWire.

Mint 22 with Pipewire - Understanding how it hangs together under the hood :

  1. ALSA: A kernel module, the lowest level of sound support. Find devices with aplay -l
  2. Pipewire: A basic sound server. Running as a user space service called pipewire (systemctl --user status pipewire and managed with pw-cli and related pw-* tools
  3. Wireplumber: A management layer on top of pipewire, or a part of it really. Running as a userspace service too (systemctl --user status wireplumber) and managed with wpctl
  4. Pipwire-Pulse: A PulseAudio compatibility layer, Running as a userspace service too (systemctl --user status pipewire-pulse) and managed with pactl (the old pulse audio interface)
