New comment by Duncaen on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/38521#issuecomment-1252759763 Comment: > umm. tbh I am really not following your thought process there. p-m-s is broken/abandoned, so continue to ship it by default and make it really inconvenient and hacky to use wireplumber?? We are only in this situation because we diverted from the default configuration. Adding the new mechanism diverts more and will introduce issues for anyone who already just masked the default configuration. There will be more breaking changes in the future as we should switch to wireplumber by default and we can't just simply switch over because it introduces a build cycle. I don't think there is a reason to rush a change that breaks the configuration by combining it with the pipewire update. It would probably be cleaner to revert back to the default configuration that does not start a session manager and then document that users can add a drop in configuration file, like shipped in this PR to start a session manager through pipewire.
