Package: wireplumber
Version: 0.4.11-3
Severity: normal

Hi!
Unlike PulseAudio, the PipeWire stack doesn't get up by itself on systems
that use any init/rc system other than systemd.

It works fine afterwards; so far I've been using this unsightly script:
.--====
#!/bin/sh

pipewire &
sleep 1
wireplumber &
sleep 1
pipewire-pulse &
`----
but that's obviously a monstrosity you don't want.  I'm including it here
only as a proof that I've tested PipeWire for sound; it works for me fine
on a bunch of machines


Meow!

Hi Adam,

running openRC, I just stole this wrapper script from alpine linux:

https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/community/pipewire/pipewire-launcher.sh

I moved it to /usr/libexec/pipewire-launcher and it also just *works*. Note that one has to run/call the script though dbus, see https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/PipeWire#Runnin <https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/PipeWire#Running>g. You also will have to kill/disable the pulseaudio daemon/service if using pipewire-pulse.

PS: this is kinda needed is you want to enable webrtc screensharing in wayland

In addition to the startup issues above, recent versions of the
wireplumber package fail to start in the absence of systemd logind on
the system:

This can be fixed by editing
/usr/share/wireplumber/bluetooth.lua.d/50-bluez-config.lua and setting

  ["with-logind"] = false,
