If it's built with wireplumber support, it hard deps on wireplumber. That's just the way it is.

Switch to pipewire-pulse and be done with it.

OK, I'll file a feature request upstream and build my own waybar meanwhile. I am not prepared to switch to pipewire yet.

An alternative would be splitting libwireplumber and wireplumber like https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libmalcontent/ and https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/malcontent/.

Yeah, it appears the wireplumber support requires a hard dep (currently). Split wireplumber libs might work...would need someone to open a feature request against Arch wireplumber pkg.

Pushed 0.9.16-2 with libwireplumber to [community-testing]. Let me know if it works for you.

Can confirm that the wireplumber module of waybar 0.9.16-2 works fine on my system which is using wireplumber and pipewire-pulse.
