Description:
Although it is apparently possible to use pacmd with the pipewire pulseaudio implementation the utility is only packaged in `pulseaudio` and not available in `pipewire-pulse`. Would it be possible to package it seperately or to include a distribution of the binary in `pipewire-pulse` as well as `pulseaudio`?
This task depends upon

Oh sorry, I just war that I repeatedly wrote pactl which is available just fine, I meant pacmd :)

The other pa* tools are in libpulse which would likely solve your problem. But I'm unsure if moving it there is viable.

pacmd depends on PulseAudio's module-cli-protocol-unix which AFAIK is not available for PipeWire.

In contrast, pactl uses the regular native protocol through libpulse.
