I was scrolling though my e-mail from the debian user group and I saw
mention of pipewire, as a replacement for pulseaudio. It seemed to
suggest that it was in Testing, so would not be available on my
Devuan Stable (chimaera) system, but I took a look, anyway. It seems
to be available, and, in fact, installed on my system. It seems to
have been brought in by zoom.
So my question are:
I have pipewire installed AND pulseaudio is still installed, as
well. Don't they do the same thing? Shouldn't they be conflicting
with each other? My sound seems to be working fine. Is is using
pulseaudio? Or is it using pipewire?
Is zoom using pipewire and everything else is using pulseaudio?
If pipewire is meant as a replacement for pulseaudio, can I delete
pulseaudio. Will my sound, including upstream firefox, continue to
work?
On Chimaera, I have neither pipewire nor pulseaudio (nor zoom) and
sound is working fine. If zoom requires the pulseaudio API, you might
well use apulse instead.

Do you have firefox running? I was under the impression that it
requires pulseaudio. At least it did at one time. That is why I
installed pulseaudio in the first place.
