It's common knowledge that we can't move to a pure pipewire system that doesn't use any pulseaudio related files at all at the moment, don't you know? For issues around audio, it is common practice to discuss them on a pactl basis, which is included in pulseaudio-utils.
Well, I didn't have pulseaudio-utils installed.
