    The change requires creating a new package config inside the pipewire debian package config. The question now is, should this package be installable for any pipewire version (so it can work with Debian’s pipewire), or should it be tied to the nosystemd antiX package version (it will uninstall if a new Debian package comes in)? I am more in favor of the first option.

    I have added the configs for pipewire 1.2.7-1.0nosystemd3 (but I am notable to build it for bookworm). I have linked it here. I am testing it on trixie, but I assume it will also work on antiX bookworm.

    Issues that will come with this package:
    – If a user creates a new user account with this package existing and installed (assuming they have pipewire enabled in /etc/skel/.desktop-session/startup), and then they uninstall all of pipewire, will alsa work even if these symlinks exist and point nowhere?
    I want to think that, if the pipewire-alsa-antix package doesn’t exist, the symlinks will just not be read by alsa, so it should work properly. Is this correct?
