With my pull request to the pipewire package, it will become possible to swap out PulseAudio and JACK entirely for PipeWire.
pipewire
At some point, we want to make this change. What is left to make this happen?

There is now a draft change request:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DefaultPipeWire
rawhide now has the latest versions of everything.
I've made pull requests to add pulseaudio-daemon Provides + Conflicts to allow PA and PipeWire-PA to be trivially swapped
pulseaudio-daemon
Once merged, we can change anything depending on pulseaudio (the daemon) to pulseaudio-daemon.
pulseaudio
with this lastest update: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-0c6652bbf5
on fedora 33 I am now able to install pipewire-pulseaudio (which removes pulseaudio with some other deps) without removing gnome-shell. I can also install pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit without removing too much other things.
The most notable problem is Cadence, which for some reason wants pulseaudio and causes a removal of the pipewire-pulseaudio package.
Metadata Update from @ngompa: - Issue set to the milestone: Fedora 34 (was: Future Release)
Pull requests sent for enabling pipewire-pulseaudio.socket by default:
pipewire-pulseaudio.socket
This should take effect for the next Rawhide compose: https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/c/147a0454e6620cda4b931df0f8aa346b6442e62d
Looks like this change has been implemented and we have moved on to the testing and bug reporting phase. Closing.
