The default on the iso for full (64bit) is that pipewire is enabled in /home/demo/.desktop-session/startup
It is only 64bit antiX-full (sysVinit and runit) that ships with pipewire on by default.
And precisely that is one of the reasons why the package needs to be aware (by a simple check of wpctl status exit code in its postinstall script) whether to remove the two symlinks or not after having copied them to /etc/alsa/conf.d on install. So these symlinks are owned by the package still, but synced according to the actual status of pipewire on the current system when it is installed and still completely removed when it is purged. That’s not rocket science, but should be simple and stable enough to work reliable.
