Title:
  [FFe] pipewire/pulseaudio configs for ubuntustudio in lunar

Status in studio-controls package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in ubuntustudio-default-settings package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is a preemptive Feature Freeze Exception for Studio Controls. I
  have just been informed by the lead of Studio Controls and part of the
  Ubuntu Studio team, Len Ovens, that he has suffered some health
  issues. This means that the version of Studio Controls needed for
  compatibility with Pipewire will not be ready in time for Lunar
  Lobster Feature Freeze on 2023-02-23.

  The features intended include a switch to disable/enable user-level
  systemd services for pipewire-pulse and pulseaudio in addition to the
  pipewire-jack backend and the starting/stopping of native JACK.
  Unfortunately, these components are not yet ready and Len is not well
  enough as of 2023-02-21 to get them ready in 2 days or have even
  something demonstrable.

  This FFe will hopefully buy enough time for Len to finish and then we
  can work out bugs later. It is unfortunate that we must work around
  his health on this, but I was only just told of this unfortunate
  happening today.

  Do note that this package is only seeded in Ubuntu Studio.

  Diffs and changelogs to be included at a later date when we have
  something.

  -------------

  Update:

  studio-controls will not make it in time, so we will be removing it
  from Ubuntu Studio by default. Instead, it will be installed via a
  metapackage (ubuntustudio-pulseaudio-config) that breaks the
  ubuntustudio-pipewire-config package which restores Ubuntu Studio to
  its traditional pulseaudio state. If ubuntustudio-pipewire-config is
  ever reinstalled, it will uninstall ubuntustudio-pulseaudio-config
  which will restore Ubuntu Studio to its default Pipewire state.

  Simple metapackage in ubuntustudio-default-settings debian/control
  follows:

  Package: ubuntustudio-pulseaudio-config
  Architecture: all
  Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.15.7.2~)
  Depends: ${misc:Depends},
           pulseaudio,
           pulseaudio-module-jack
  Recommends: studio-controls
  Breaks: ubuntustudio-pipewire-config,
          pipewire-pulse,
          pipewire-jack,
          wireplumber
  Description: Deconfigures Pipewire on Ubuntu Studio
   This metapackage simply removes the default pipewire integration
   and reinstalls the traditional pulseaudio configuration. Reinstalling
   ubuntustudio-pipewire-config removes this package and changes
   the configuration back to default.

  This package will be installable via the GUI ubuntustudio-installer.
