Move definitions upstream

[yellowsquid]

Many of these modules are suitable for being moved into upstream Guix. This issue contains a list of which modules could be moved.

• yellowsquid services pipewire

very interested in this!
do you have a example config for it?

[yellowsquid]

Here's an absolutely minimal Guix Home config for the PipeWire and WirePlumber services.

(use-modules (gnu home)
             (gnu services)
             (yellowsquid services pipewire))

(home-environment
 (services (list
            (service home-pipewire-service-type)
            (service home-wireplumber-service-type))))

In practice, you would want to have shell services, environment variables, and other packages in your profile. See the Home Configuration info node for more details.

great! thanks! I will test if that works.

I am trying to use wpctl to change my audio volume in a sway/wayland config. Will let you know how that goes.

I hope you manage the guix process to send it to the main guix repository.

In rde ( https://sr.ht/~abcdw/rde/) I have seen home services that can bring the packages
that they need. I am not sure if this functionality already is in the guix repos or not. But for pipewire
and wireplumber this might make sense, as it would reduce the complexity of guix home services
configuration.

This are the warnings I get when I did home reconfigure. Many services have config entries for
logfiles, perhaps that makes sense. I guess it is a missing package

The 3 services pipewire, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber are all running despite ths warning messages.

This works: wpctl set-volume 39 50
But the sound quality is horrible now. Listening to a youtube video the audio quality is so bad that I
can barely understand a word what is said.
I uges htis is related to this realtime kit tht I dont have installed (which unfortunately I also could not find
with guix search)
