Description:
After upgrading the pipewire package from version 0.3.30-2 to 0.3.31-1 PipeWire has stopped working.

I noticed that there are no more files in the package tree:
- usr / bin / pipewire-pulse
- usr / lib / systemd / user / {pipewire-pulse.service, pipewire-pulse.socket}

Currently despite the status in services that pipewire is running, when I checked using "pactl info" it is "Server Name: pulseaudio" instead of "Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.31)".

Additional info:
* package version: 0.3.31-1
* logfile in the attachment

Steps to reproduce:
1. Update pipewire to version 0.3.31-1 -> PipeWire no longer working

This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  user comments: In the new version of the "pipewire" package it requires the "pipewire-pulseaudio" package, I installed it and it works as before.

Those files belong to the package pipewire-pulse, make sure you have it installed.

Thanks! Now PipeWire works fine.

Apparently now completely "pipewire" replaces "pulseaudio" package. These files went from "pipewire" to "pipewire-pulseaudio" package in version 0.3.31-1. It's a shame no one reported this on Arch Linux News. I just lost the PipeWire that was working before with the update.:P
