Who does still run pulseaudio when pipewire exists?
People using LTS releases, who do you know... actual work instead of just compiling your kernel over and over.
An LTS releases that are soo old usually run on servers, where pulseaudio is not really a thing.
My distro's compile farm compiles kernels for me (thanks guys!), and switched to pipewire years ago.
Edit: This is incorrect, as pointed out below.
Pulseaudio still does the device juggling etc on most systems even when there's a pipewire backend.
Wrong. Pipewire is pulseaudio-compatible, and the device juggling is done by wireplumber
Are you sure? On every device I could quickly reach (Gentoo, NixOS, Pop OS, all with vanilla/default pipewire configs), `ps aux |grep -i pulse` only turns up pipewire-pulse.
