I was scrolling though my e-mail from the debian user group and I saw

and, in fact, installed on my system. It seems to have been brought in by
zoom.
Are you sure you want pipewire? Looking at the code:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/commits/master
Main contributor is from certain company associated with color red and
a headgear. Given the sentiment on this list, you may want to think twice.
I am not at all sure that I want pipewire. It was brought in by zoom,
and, at the time I had no idea what it was. I am cutious, now, as to
how both pipewire and pulsaudio are installed and not clobbering each
other. If it is possible to have audio working (including firefox)
without either of them then that night be the best answer. fewer layers
doing the same job sounds good to me.
