This F37 system that has been upgraded from at least F36 doesn't have
pulseaudio installed. There is no pipewire bluetooth package because
bluetooth is included and doesn't need a separate package.
That's
interesting, when I was trying to resolve the audio issue before
I rebuilt Fedora, when you said pulseaudio had been deprecated I tried
to replace pulseaudio with pipewire and doing that I got a conflict
between a pipewire bluetooth package (whose exact name I've forgotten)
and pulseaudio-module-bluetooth, but the pipewire package isn't visible
in my current system, so the only thing I can think of is that pipewire
package was in the rpmfusion-tainted repository that was active at that
time. The rpmfusion repository was active because of a web page I was
pointed at the try to resolve the audio suggested installing that
repository and then doing a dnf group update of both the multimedia and
the sound-and-video groups, which is where the update of the multimedia
group caused the conflict between the pulsaudio and pipewire bluetooth
packages, and an uninstall of pulseaudio-module-bluetooth to resolve the
conflict couldn't be done because it wanted to uninstall Gnome-shell
(this was being done under KDE which I thought was irrelevant).

Steve
