KDE Plasma 6.3.6 - Sound and Discover issue.

This is a fresh install of Devuan Excalibur 6.1 with OpenRC, and KDE Plasma running over Wayland.

Sound from Firefox works, but sounds from files and system sounds don't work, sound volume can't be adjusted, and the Audio Volume widget displays "Connection to the Sound Service Lost" and retrying doesn't fix it.

In the Search section of Discover, Discover only displays items in "Application Addons" and "Plasma Addons". Connection to the Internet works on the rest of the system.

Re: KDE Plasma 6.3.6 - Sound and Discover issue.

WirePlumber, PipeWire, PulseAudio, ALSA, and OSS are all running on startup (and people say BSDs' audio systems are a mess).
jack-bridge could be used in the future, maybe by SonicDE. https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=7567

I think that systemd developers and their slaves are intentionally bloating their projects, to implicitly dissuade people from debugging and hacking them.
