Bug Description
Pipewire (pipewire-pulse), as a drop in replacement for Pulseaudio, should find tunnelled Pulseadio sinks over a network.
It currently does not.
Resolution is currently removing the `pipewire-pulse` package with the Pulseaudio packages still installed.

Loading the module `module- zeroconf- discover` enables the discovery and configuration of remote sinks as expected. Loaded as: zeroconf- discover
```
pactl load-module module-
```
This is non-obvious from a user point of view and I suggest that a default configuration is created at a system level to _at least_ discover network audio sources.
Creating the directory `/etc/pipewire/ pipewire- pulse.conf. d/` containing the file `50-network- sink-discovery. conf` with the following content: module- zeroconf- discover
```
context.modules = [
{ name = libpipewire-
args = { }
}
]
```
enables discovery across reboots.
