Dear Maintainer,

I'm running a system on bookworm with pipewire only as sound server. According
to the pipewire documentation, qjackctl would be the best tool to manage sound
pipes also with pipewire. Because qjackctl depends on jackd only, it cannot be
installed without installing jackd as well. Please add an alternative
dependency for pipewire as well.
Kind regards and thanks for the good work.

qjackctl is primarily developed for JACK, so i will not remove the
(build-)dependency.
you could rebuild the qjackctl package tho:

but probably you want to try *qpwgraph 😉*

Another option is to use the qpwgraph package

ok, i already changed my mind. since its not a big deal to only change
the depends of qjackctl binary, then the fix will come soon, at least
with the next release, 0.9.8-1.
but as i said, you should give qpwgraph a try, its like qjackctl but
made for pipewire.
