I have pipewire-pulse intstalled, not puleaudio.
Maybe change that?

$ wireplumber
Failed to connect to PipeWire
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with these commands. But I get this:
hobbit:~$ wireplumber
C 08:56:02.434125 GLib (null):(null):(null): Failed to set
scheduler settings: Operation not permitted
^CM 08:56:09.483224 wireplumber ../src/main.c:372:signal_handler:
stopped by signal: Interrupt
M 08:56:09.484381 wireplumber ../src/main.c:364:on_disconnected:
disconnected from pipewire
It "hung" after the first line of output, and then I pressed Ctrl-C
several seconds later to kill it. Audio still worked afterward so I
don't think I broke anything.
wireplumber is run as a service:

Works fine here, get a bunch of info about audio and video sinks and sources
etc.
