[orca-list] Using Wireplumber for audio with Orca

[Jason White <jason jasonjgw net>]

Wireplumber is reportedly now being used by default in Fedora as the 
Pipewire session manager.

It is also available under Arch Linux, where I installed it.

At the gdm login, I get no speech, but it finds my attached USB audio 
headphones after I log in and works well at that point within the 
graphical session via Speech-Dispatcher.

Switching to a console and running Emacspeak gives audio - but to the 
system's primary audio device rather than the USB device.

Has anyone in the Linux accessibility community been here before me and 
straightened out the configuration? Where should I start?

I think the usual permission issues might be going on here.
