Details

PKGBUILD for pipewire base package installs a symlink (ln -st "$pkgdir/etc/alsa/conf.d" /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pipewire.conf), creating new ALSA PCM.

Bare pipewire install shouldn't mess with ALSA settings, this symlink should be moved to pipewire-alsa instead.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  The symlink provided by pipewire does not create a default for the ALSA setup.

The config only makes the plugin accessible, it does not make it the default. It's handled this way for pulse too, with the basic config shipping with the plugin and the config that makes it the default in pulseaudio-alsa.
