I've noticed that if pipewire.service is running, it'll prevent pulseaudio from handling audio sub-system. So maybe it should be disabled together with its pipewire.socket? The main question that still remains is that GNU/Linux distributions somehow worked without PipeWire and there weren't such issues. If the system already uses PulseAudio, what other components have to be installed/configured to properly replace also the PipeWire video capturing part?
