Migrating from Pipewire to Pulseaudio in Fedora 34

[Cisco Tissera]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there was a way, or a step by step guide, to migrate
from Pipewire to Pulseaudio in Fedora 34.
I really like Pipewire, however the audio server does not yet support some
of the assistive technologies that I'd like to use, while pulseaudio does.
I can't go into much detail, because I just know less than half that I
should, LOL.
I'd appreciate any answer.
Best regards.
Francisco.

Hello there,

Thanks so much, that worked!
Another question, if you don't mind, actually two: say I wanted to
completely remove Pipewire from the system, could I?
When I tried, dnf would let me remove it,or it's deps because it would
break and remove gnome-shell.
The other question is if there is a way to install pulseaudio 15 and it's
deps, instead of 14.2-3, which fedora provides, even in it's testing
repositories.
Thanks again for any answer.
Best regards.
Francisco.

Only by removing all its dependencies that have been set to pipewire
only (they won't work with pulseaudio any more).

It is available in the rawhide repositories, so you could download the
binary rpms from koji and install them using 
dnf -C install [list of binary rpms]

Because pipewire is now the default, support for pulseaudio will
decrease over time until it is dropped from fedora.  So, some of the
pulseaudio packages you have installed might not be compatible with the
newer version of pulseaudio, and you will get install errors when you
try to install it.
