The ‘home-pipewire-pulse-shepherd-service’ procedure is missing. Do you
have a code for this procedure or should it be removed from the commit
message? The PipeWire service seems to work without it.

This is the third implementation of a PipeWire related home services
which I've found on the Internet. In the end all of them are the same
except variable naming. Also I've looked how NixOS and Gentoo GNU/Linux
distributions use PipeWire. Running it is a home service is the
recommended way by the upstream (user's systemd units are recommended by
the upstream to be correct) [1].
[1]: https://github.com/PipeWire/pipewire/blob/bd87902da6a2badae096e4679eedfe9da2e75d79/NEWS#L5573
The patch is tested with the following Guix home configuration:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service home-dbus-service-type)
(service home-pipewire-service-type)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The sound from speakers and microphone work.
Also I've packaged obs-pipewire-audio-capture package which works with
current PipeWire implementation.
I think we could merge the patch after getting
‘home-pipewire-pulse-shepherd-service’ or removing it from the commit
message, e.g.:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gnu: home: Add home-pipewire service.
This adds a set of home Shepherd services which will start the required
services for a functional PipeWire setup
* gnu/home/services/sound.scm
(home-pipewire-shepherd-service, home-wireplumber-shepherd-service,
home-pipewire-shepherd-services, home-pipewire-asoundrc,
home-pipewire-xdg-configuration): New procedures.
(home-pipewire-service-type): New service type.
(home-pipewire-configuration): New struct.
(home-pipewire-disable-pulseaudio-auto-start): New variable.
* doc/guix.texi (Sound Home Services): Document it.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Brian, could you add the code for ‘home-pipewire-pulse-shepherd-service’
if it is required, please?
Thanks,
Oleg.
