### Pipewire session manager switch
7+
8+
Void has now dropped the long-deprecated `pipewire-media-session` session manager
9+
from its `pipewire` package, bringing it inline with the upstream default
10+
configuration. If you are currently using `pipewire`, you must migrate to
11+
`wireplumber` or `pipewire` will cease to function properly. Refer to
12+
[Void documentation](https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/media/pipewire.html#session-management)
13+
if you need guidance when making this change.

### Pipewire and PulseAudio system service removal
16+
17+
The oft-confusing services for `pipewire`, `pipewire-pulse`,
18+
`wireplumber`, and `pulseaudio` have been removed from the `pipewire`,
19+
`wireplumber`, and `pulseaudio` packages because they were experimental and
20+
should not have been used for almost all use-cases.
21+
22+
If you are currently using those services and still wish to do so, replacements
23+
for the `pipewire` and `pulseaudio` services can be found in
24+
`/usr/share/examples/$pkgname/sv/`. Otherwise, it is recommended to migrate to
25+
another method of launching `pipewire`. Refer to
26+
[Void documentation](https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/media/pipewire.html)
27+
if you need guidance.
