Adding this to 2.28 - I have someone working on implementing PipeWire session detection right now, and expect this to be upstreamed into PW/WP by the end of the year, which should make it feasible to make the switch for the release after 2.26. |

Since we had a Wayland tracker, makes sense to have a PipeWire tracker as well... main difference is, we only have one issue and it happens to be the blocker:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1835
Once PipeWire exposes a way for us to detect that a session is actually running (vs. someone using Pulse but with the PW libs installed) this should be a perfectly safe change; we can fall back to Pulse when the session isn't started or the system doesn't expose the metadata described in the linked issue.
Like with Wayland this branch is for internal testing only; end user testing should use
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pipewire.
