Hey, I'd like first of all thank you for the great distro you made.
I had to install pipewire in order to have proper bluetooth headset support. So I installed pipewire-setup-mx, uninstalled pulseaudio and everything worked just fine. But sadly I had firefox uninstalled.
Why don't you make pulseaudio as a recommended package instead of a hard dependency to firefox? I created a dummy package of pulseaudio (using equivs) to install it and worked just fine. In Debian's official firefox package (firefox-esr), pulseaudio is a recommended package, not a hard dependency.

Re: Firefox should not depend on pulseaudio - Pipewire works just fine
I used to put a "provides" on pipewire-setup-mx, but the new pipewire packages cause it to be removed because they have a "conflict" with pulseaudio
but I agree on removing the pulseaudio depend from firefox. @mmikeinsantarosa what do you think? should only be a change in the control file to remove pulseaudio and apulse.

I think it might be better to add pipewire as a sound provider option rather than remove the others.
