Pipewire without elogind

Because Wireplumber is built with elogind enabled, Pipewire will not work if one chooses to go the route of dummy-logind/consolekit. Is there interest in having a wireplumber package without it enabled, or a hack to use it without it anyway?

Re: Pipewire without elogind

Are you using bluetooth audio?

I had to change line 66 from true to false in /usr/share/wireplumber/bluetooth.lua.d/50-bluez-config.lua

  -- Enable the logind module, which arbitrates which user will be allowed
  -- to have bluetooth audio enabled at any given time (particularly useful
  -- if you are using GDM as a display manager, as the gdm user also launches
  -- pipewire and wireplumber).
  -- This requires access to the D-Bus user session; disable if you are running
  -- a system-wide instance of wireplumber.
  ["with-logind"] = false,
