WirePlumber is completely overkill as a session manager here, and ideally a trivial session manager would be used instead. I did build a Spectrum OS image and found that PipeWire and WirePlumber both successfully started. PipeWire is configured to listen on the PulseAudio socket, so PulseAudio compatibility works. This does inject a large number of completely unnecessary files into the VM, notably for libcamera and Bluetooth support.
Yeah, I saw this in the log:

Can we set something in a config file or something to disable this extra stuff? I can disable the Bluetooth and libcamera SPA plugins, but it would be better to build PipeWire and WirePlumber without support for various stuff that Spectrum VMs will never need. Is this feasible? -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers)
