Description

Hello!

Would be nice to add new pipewire/wireplumber volume support.

Volume control with pulseaudio daemon is not compatible with pipewire as is if it is not compiled with pulseaudio server support which increases packages and binaries weight. Also pulseaudio would be deprecated in favor of pipewire in a near future because it has no extra latency.

Pipewire/Wireplumber support would be a great addon for new systems with pipewire.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current volume control code using PulseAudio. Then research Pipewire/Wireplumber APIs to design an abstraction layer.
