If you are currently using `pipewire`, you must migrate to +`wireplumber` or `pipewire` will cease to function properly. Refer to +[Void documentation](https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/media/pipewire.html#session-management) +if you need guidance when making this change. + +### Pipewire and PulseAudio system service removal + +The oft-confusing services for `pipewire`, `pipewire-pulse`, +`wireplumber`, and `pulseaudio` have been removed from the `pipewire`, +`wireplumber`, and `pulseaudio` packages because they were experimental and +should not have been used for almost all use-cases. + +If you are currently using those services and still wish to do so, replacements +for the `pipewire` and `pulseaudio` services can be found in +`/usr/share/examples/$pkgname/sv/`. Otherwise, it is recommended to migrate to +another method of launching `pipewire`. Refer to +[Void documentation](https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/media/pipewire.html) +if you need guidance.
