Dear Maintainer,

When building a new system with Debian Trixie, 25% of log entries (notice and above) come from pipewire with a root cause of package 'rtkit' not being installed. Recommend that the 'rtkit' package be included as a required or recommended dependency and ship with the default configuration. Installation of package 'rtkit' causes the log spam to stop.
