Description Matt Whitlock 2024-08-20 08:46:52 UTC 
Without media-libs/libpulse installed, media-video/pipewire-1.0.7-r1 configure output includes:

Run-time dependency libpulse found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)
⋮
  Streaming between daemons
    libpulse                                : NO


After emerging media-libs/libpulse, then media-video/pipewire-1.0.7-r1 configure output includes:

Run-time dependency libpulse found: YES 17.0
⋮
  Streaming between daemons
    libpulse                                : YES


Moreover, /usr/lib/pipewire-0.3/libpipewire-module-pulse-tunnel.so is only installed if media-libs/libpulse is present on the system when media-video/pipewire is built. That shared object dynamically links against libpulse.so.0, yet media-video/pipewire lacks an RDEPEND on media-libs/libpulse.


Rather than allowing an automagic dependency, media-video/pipewire should expose a USE flag to explicitly control its dependency on media-libs/libpulse.
