Pipewire is not just for audio, it's also used for video capture (that's why xdg-desktop-portal needs it, and the same is probably true for other applications). To disable the audio side of Pipewire, my understanding is that it should be sufficient to remove pipewire-pulse, pipewire-alsa, pipewire-jack and libspa-0.2-bluetooth, while leaving pipewire and wireplumber installed. smcv
