Just for information, zoom works fine with just plain alsa here on a
debian testing system. I normally use Palemoon which also is fine with
plain alsa. I know that some people worry about Palemoon...

I occasionally use firefox, and then I need apulse - which works.

Thanks for the info.  I looked, again, into why pipewire was brought in and this is what I got:

$ aptitude why pipewire
i   zoom                   Depends ibus
i A ibus                   Recommends im-config
i A im-config              Recommends zenity | kdialog | kde-baseapps-bin (< 4:16.08.3-2~) | whiptail
i A zenity                 Depends    libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 (>= 2.15.1)
i A libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37   Recommends xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
i A xdg-desktop-portal-gtk Depends    xdg-desktop-portal (>= 1.7.1)
i A xdg-desktop-portal     Depends    libpipewire-0.3-0 (>= 0.3.10)
i A libpipewire-0.3-0      Recommends pipewire (= 0.3.19-4)libpipewire-0.3-0

Since I don't use flatpack I decideded that I don't need xdg-desktop-portal.  So I took out xdg-desktop-portal, xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, libpipewire-0.3-0 and pipewire.

No more potential conflicts.  Next, I may take out pulseaudio and verify that firefox works on my system with apulse.  Then I can be rid of both of them.
