Pulseaudio and pipewrire-pulse are exclusive, so if you install
pulseaudio, you cannot install pipewire-pulse, but you should still be
able to play sound, although kodi will have no sound.

MH>  Yes, that's what I tried to force the SUSE guys to do, but as can be

I understand your anger, but wouldn't it be faster to rebuild with
-DENABLE_PULSEAUDIO=AUTO option?

Of course, you need libpulse-devel.

Best Regards.
