pipewire-pulse

sudo pacman -S  pipewire-pulse

resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: pipewire-pulse-1:1.2.7-1 and pulseaudio-17.0+r43+g3e2bb8a1e-1 are in conflict. Remove pulseaudio? [y/N] Y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing pulseaudio breaks dependency 'pulseaudio=17.0+r43+g3e2bb8a1e-1' required by pulseaudio-bluetooth
:: removing pulseaudio breaks dependency 'pulseaudio=17.0+r43+g3e2bb8a1e-1' required by pulseaudio-zeroconf

I think this should work?

You either use pulseaudio or pipewire and only then you install pipewire-pulse to have pipewire as a pulseaudio replacement.

The point is  pipewire-pulse is supposed to remove  pulseaudio-bluetooth and pulseaudio-zeroconf, as noted in the wiki and the link, and it seemed to fail, right?

Are "pulseaudio-bluetooth" and "pulseaudio-zeroconf" explicitly installed or as a dependency of something else?

(You can check using "pacman -Qi <package-name>")

Explicitly, not dependent?

Seems it has been pulled explicitly, there are no "Required" dependencies, so you can just "pacman -R" those packages.

I'm not sure why this has happened, but my best guess is that somewhere down the line pulseaudio has been split and those packages have been pulled and marked as "explicitly installed".

Pacman is not removing those packages because in your system are marked as "explicitly wanted" and pulseaudio-bluetooth (for instance) doesn't expose what feature it "provides" thus not allowing other packages to "substitute it" (although they technically can).

As an example both "fcron" and "cronie" provide the "cron" service, thus they can be changed. Pulseaudio-bluetooth and pulseaudio-zeroconf don't do that (they would need to refer to some virtual packages to do it), making the switchover a bit cumbersome.

Thing to do is "pacman -R pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-zeroconf" and then "pacman -S pipewire-pulse" and proceed with the relative config, essentially.

the install was artix-cinnamon-dinit .iso
Should I tell anyone about this?

Considering the keys the ISOs are signed with, I think nous might be the person you're looking for.
