In your Ubuntu 21.04 setup, PipeWire is only used for camera multiplexing and Wayland screen sharing. It is not used for routing audio. This is why you still have the PulseAudio package installed, and enabled, by default.

Thank you, Hi-Angel, darwi.

I can confirm that both pulseaudio and pipewire are running, as systemd user services.

Thanks
