New comment by cinerea0 on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/43574#issuecomment-1518716034 Comment: This release of pipewire added functionality to conditionally start a session manager. I want to draw attention to [this comment](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/3160#note_1870332) by a pipewire dev on the issue that led to this feature being implemented, which references problems resulting from autostarting `pipewire-media-session`: > Yes, the way you did will end up running both. You will need to fully override the main pipewire.conf file instead. Alternatively either convince your distro to: > * stop using dead software > * adopt a launcher script or daemon like they should have long ago > * just switch to a better distro (and, if no, you can keep your reasoning to yourself, I can already imagine them without you typing them out but it still needed to be said). Given that pipewire contributors are now regularly referring to p-m-s as "dead software", I think we have three options: 1. Continue to leave things as they are. 2. Change the patch to only start p-m-s conditionally and update the documentation to reference the solution in the linked issue. 3. Drop p-m-s as in #41868, even though it still builds fine.
