Description:
pipewire-media-session is now a requirement for screensharing on sway: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#WebRTC_screen_sharing

I hadn't noticed it, and removed that package when I rolled back to pulse for my audio system. As pipewire-media-session is not a dependency of pipewire I didn't think of installing it.

I suppose most users will want to install xdg-desktop-portal-wlr to share their screens, so that should be a dependency, though possibly an optional one.
This task depends upon

Good point, I believe it was always a requirement, media-session was simply part of pipewire package until some point. Makes sense to make it a required dependency in my mind, as several issues + xpdw wiki all explain that media-session is a requirement.
