It seems to me that there’s no service for pipewire available at the moment. How do I configure pipewire to run with GNOME, ideally with pipewire-pulse?

I’ve never tried putting it in the system configuration, but I imagine it wouldn’t work as it depends on Guix Home services.
If you haven’t used Guix Home before, the
home-environment
record doesn’t have required fields likeoperating-system
does so it’s fairly easy to get started with.Here's a minimal working configuration, for example:
I should have asked this before, but I also want to ensure that the default PulseAudio is disabled. How can I ensure that? Would this work with GNOME Shell properly?
I haven’t found a need to do it, but a
(modify-services ... (delete pulseaudio-service-type))
in youroperating-system
declaration might do what you’re asking? I don’t think this is necessary though. As far as I’m aware, applications that attempt to use Pulseaudio will be transparently rerouted throughpipewire-pulse
, which is already configured byhome-pipewire-service-type
. I am also on GNOME, and I haven’t noticed any breakage in this aspect using it.If you’re unsure that it works the way you want, you can always try the configuration out and see how it goes (note that I had to re-log in for the wireplumber service to start properly).
