How to use Pipewire with GNOME on Guix? (lemmy.ml)

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 haven't found a need to do it, but a (modify-services ... (delete pulseaudio-service-type)) in your operating-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 through pipewire-pulse, which is already configured by home-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).
