+ Users who want to switch to PipeWire providing a PulseAudio daemon |
| 25 |
+ may need to `emerge --deselect` packages in their world file which |
| 26 |
+ hard-require media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon. There are only a handful |

| 28 |
+ * media-sound/paprefs |
| 29 |
+ * media-sound/pasystray |

+ * media-sound/pulseaudio-modules-bt (shouldn't be needed anyway) |

+ If not using any of those packages anymore, please emerge --deselect |

| 35 |

| 37 |
+ (Note that media-libs/libpulse (which PipeWire will be using, don't emerge |
| 38 |
+ libpulse manually) provides 'pactl' which can be used as a replacement for |
| 39 |

systemd users will also need to run the following commands: |

$ systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket |
| 44 |
$ systemctl --user --now enable pipewire.socket pipewire-pulse.socket |
