Description:

Can we split libpipewire in a separate package. This will allow applications to be built against pipewire but gives the user the control to install pipewire if they want to have it. Currently if you want libpipewire you get the complete pipewire package which automatically enables pipewire services. This is not desirable in certain situations like kodi, where many users still want to use ALSA by default. For more info see: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/77341


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:

Install kodi on a HTPC and use ALSA without user intervention
This task depends upon

Would like to see this as well to make mpv depend on libpipewire.
