If you want to use some Pulseaudio commands like <code>pactl</code>, you can safely install (either systemwide or in a nix-shell) the `pulseaudio` package (do not enable it in the system configuration). The <code>pactl</code> functionality is superseded in PipeWire with the native <code>pw-cli</code>, <code>pw-mon</code> and <code>pw-top</code> CLI tools. When using WirePlumber (which is enabled by default), you can also use <code>wpctl</code> as a <code>pactl</code> alternative with similar high level subcommands.
