This is unecessarily restrictive to force the user to choose between |
| 12 |
pipewire and pulseaudio for the sound server. It is possible (I am |
| 13 |
running it now), and should be possible for gentoo to have both |
| 14 |
installed simultaneously and run one or the other at any given time, |
| 15 |
through configuration files. |

[I think the only patch that is required is for |
| 18 |
alsa-plugins/pulse/conf_pulse.c: (conf_pulse_hook_load_if_running) |
| 19 |
which can be taught to check if the pipewire daemon is running and |
| 20 |
quit that particular module. but it is not pipewire aware yet] |
