This is now <https://pmbs.links2linux.org/request/show/6048>; once Sagi
approves it, Kodi on Leap does not consider any Pipewire stuff at all
and defaults to use PulseAudio only. Nothing is changed on Tumbleweed,
as the default setup works; depending on the user specific configuration
or setup, one can still specify which audio-backend should be used -
the default on Tumbleweed remains Pipewire with a _normal_ installation,
i.e. no locks to rule-out Pipewire. If pipewire-pulseaudio does not
exist, like on two of my systems used as HTPCs, and pulseaudio exists,
then the start script automatically adds "--audio-backend=pulseaudio",
but again, this is not a _normal_ installation!

@Sagi: can you please review this change?

Cheers.
