It would be nice if you could check as a followup whether we can just
upgrade ‘pipewire’ to 0.3.  See ‘guix refresh -l pipewire@0.2’ for the
list of dependents to rebuild.

You would still need to make it a dependency of Flatpak though, no?

I took the liberty to tweak descriptions according to our guidelines:

Applied, thanks!
