Pipewire: works.
Pulseaudio: worksn't.
Really, it's as simple as that. Pulseaudio tried to be the systemd of sound and failed succeeded pretty horribly. Even its packaging was horrible, back when it was first put into Fedora and I tried uninstalling, it threatened taking down Libreoffice and Gedit with it.
A "security" that interrupts the user or prevents them from doing their work is bad, because it incentivizes the user to skip or disable it, and the use of a Linux system already can get most of the ways to do either of those via
${packagemanager} install. Thus it's more like security theatre.From what I gather, the wayland model of things is so ridiculous that it can't even provide for global hotkeys - which are, like, the guaranteed way to setup an interface the user can trust because it'll always mean that when the user users it. I doubt wayland would even be Magic SysRq keys-compatible.
