Tried each of those too, but backed off when the solver said that pulseaudio-module-zeroconf-15.0-10.3.x86_64, pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-15.0-10.3.x86_64 and alsa-plugins-pulse-1.2.6-1.4.x86_64 had to go as well. Do these matter?
alsa-plugins-pulse is replacable by pipewire-alsa. pulseaudio-module-bluetooth is replacable by pipewire. I have never used Avahi/Zeroconf (basically autodiscovery of IP-based audio devices) for audio, so I do not know if such exists in pipewire.

If I try to use pactl <anything>, all I get is:
Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
pipewire-pulse.socket is the service name that creates it. It is autotriggered by pipewire-pulse.service. pipewire-pulse.service on the other hand is disabled for me, so something causes it to autostart in my particular setup, but if time is crucial, systemctl --user enable pipewire-pulse.service should do it for next time around.
