Just, when PULSEAUDIO started working somehow,
brilliant idea, change to pipewire in F34...
I'm still trying to analyze the situation. Another reboot did seem to have
concluded with audio working by default.
Rooting around in $HOME I see some promising noises coming out of
$HOME/.config/pipewire/media-session.d, it seems to contain some vague
handwaving about defaults, and it's possible that pipewire will get it wrong
just once per application. Which wouldn't be the end of the world, but still
annoying.
Still doing some testing, but however it turns out to be I will be willing
to shut up about this, on the condition that another software package gets
replaced, too – the one that has the same origins as pulseaudio. And I
suspect that I am not the only one who'll gladly take this bargain.
