Is there a 'Getting Started With pipewire' and/or wireplumber somewhere? Or should they 'just work' and I need to check my connections?
As a non-gnome (and non-display-manager) user, I share these .xsession snippets:
# Required by pipewire, at least export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=$(mktemp -d /tmp/$(id -u)-runtime-dir.XXX)
# Required by most things eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
pipewire & pipewire-pulse & (sleep 2 ; wireplumber & ) &
There wasn't a pipewire-specific config; it uses the same ALSA backend as pulseaudio used.
If you don't mind answering, was it a Rhode Island Red cockerel or a hen which you sacrificed to learn these arcane secrets? And, full-moon at midnight, or dark of the moon? Or did this take moving up to a goat? Or are you a graduate of Hogwarts? Because I am quite sure that none of these snippets show up anywhere in the so-called documentation. Pure magic, just like any sufficiently advanced technology.

That's because they aren't necessary. For any standard desktop all those pieces are already setup for you. Notice how he said "non-display-manager user". Those are only necessary if you don't have a graphical login session.
He has a graphical login session. I am going to guess he is using straight-X windows with one of the ancient simple window managers (twm, mwm). I have used similar setups on set-top boxes where memory is limited and gnome is overcomplicated and often gets in the way of it working.
DJ: are you the same DJ Delorie that did the work 30 years ago on djgcc for DOS? If so, that was some good work. I used it for some image processing work.

It took a LOT of googling to find the one person who mentioned it elsewhere in the space-time continuum.

IIRC it was Arch's or Gentoo's forums that had this bare-metal-gem.

I very clearly stated that I did not. I boot to a text login prompt, log in, and run "exec xinit .xsession -- -listen tcp -retro" (I have a script for it called "x" :)
I've never had much luck getting login managers to run my weird environment correctly.

fvwm2 :-)

Yes. You're welcome! It's always good to hear that someone found my work useful.
