Tested manually by forceinstalling via rpm -i --nodeps, with pipewire jack it works as expected. Still not allowing to install itself on pipewire-only setups for the hard-dependency on the pulseaudio binary.
This appears to be a result of the /usr/share/cadence/pulse2*/*.pa scripts having a shebang for /usr/bin/pulseaudio. Removing those files removes the implicit /usr/bin/pulseaudio dependency and results in successful installation. Not sure what the pipewire equivalent, if any, is for that. I don’t think those files should be needed anymore with pipewire (though not positive, haven’t tested Cadence enough). Perhaps they should be moved to a subpackage.
Could a packaging change like this be staged before the F34 release? That would avoid breaking setups and gives time to let upstream think about it.
