Description roke beedell 2024-03-22 13:04:07 UTC 
Provide a SystemD override file, as https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/2244#note_2336608 explains, to allow the superuser account to use Pipewire when authenticated.
Comment 1 hui 2024-03-22 13:29:02 UTC 
The override file needs to be created by the user.

> The override file needs to be created by the user.

openSUSE can't just provide such a file in its packaging of the application? If it's set to disabled, I don't even see any security concerns. I fail to understand why we should make each user do this themselves.
