Description:
As shown at https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/issues/1144 pipewire-media-session can't be disabled on Arch because there's a post-install script that enable it as default media session for pipewire. Anyway according to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/wireplumber/-/issues/56 "wireplumber (WP) and pipewire-media-session (MS) are two components that serve the same space, but only one can run at any time - you can have both installed at the same time of course but only one can run at a time". This is not possible on Arch because pipewire-media-session is always enabled. The only way to disable it is uninstalling the package, but this forces also pipewire-alsa/pulse/jack deletion which leads to nothing being reproducible. So wireplumber and pipewire-media-session have to be modified to consent: * disabling both services individually, especially pipewire-media-session if I want to enable wireplumber afterwards * uninstalling pipewire-media-session without removing pipewire-alsa/pulse/jack |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: pipewire-media-session and wireplumber both provide pipewire-session-manager (and therefore only one can be installed at a time). Upon installation the user services are globally enabled and upon installation globally disabled.

Then I can't install wireplumber individually. Pipewire developers say only one media session should used, so maybe one want to install wireplumber and delete pipewire-media-session.
