(Get the code!)
We're not going to change the ubuntu-desktop metapackage to allow switching to pulseaudio for Ubuntu 23.10.
There was a pipewire 1.0 RC (versioned as 0.3.81) release today with further JACK improvements. That version is too late for Ubuntu 23.10 but it will be in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

I'm curious if pipewire will be good enough for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for professional audio users.
It is much easier and more reliable to simply depend on pipewire-audio, especially since we need to upgrade people from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS which had pulseaudio as default. Trying to allow people to intentionally opt out also means that people can accidentally end up with the option that is not our recommended audio server.
