Bug#998218: pipewire-pulse: can't load module module-zeroconf-publish

[Maurizio Avogadro]

Package: pipewire-pulse
Version: 0.3.39-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

after the migration of pipewire 0.3.39 to testing I had to find a way to
have
back pulseaudio network transparency; after some searches on the web I found
that the pactl load-module command should still work with selected
modules [1],
and the modules I need appear supported. If it worked I just had to
figure out
how to load those modules automatically at each session.

The command

pactl load-module module-native-protocol-tcp

indeed worked, and I could verify the TCP port 4713 was open; then I
tried the
command

pactl load-module module-zeroconf-publish

but it errored out with the message "Failure: No such entity".

I'm now stuck wondering whether I missed something (there's not much on
the web
about Pipewire, even less about its network transparency) or it's a pipewire
bug, so please accept my excuses in case it's my fault...

Thanks

Currently, this module is not build in the Debian package.

I will add it in the next upload.

Best,
