Yes, that's the same info that Lukas Ruzicka got from the Pipewire
developer. Client libraries stay, the daemons/servers are removed. So the
table is correct and incorrect at the same time - layer 4 gets trimmed to
the absolute minimum (just {libpulse,libjack}.so files).
There is also a Pipewire's own API, and so clients can skip layer 4
completely and connect directly to Pipewire.
