Description:

PKGBUILD commit ee16dc5b5a5db0334393780c558c8ec5c4d3bf32 introduces pipewire as a dependency.

a) IMHO pipewire not ready for production yet (just look at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues)
b) A window manager shouldn't depend on a multimedia framework (if at all, that should be a dependency of the desktop environment)

Is there a way to make this dependency at least optional at run-time? Apparently only kwin_wayland actually links libpipewire.

Additional info:

* 5.20.0-1

Steps to reproduce:

pacman -Syu
This task depends upon
