Ah that's annoying, so as I understand it should just be down to having persistent sink and routing right? Not sure if this what you want as I haven't tried, but could this thread be helpful?
Great! I agree it's a little rough for now, and it seems development is kinda slow, but it works for what it tries to achieve already
It's probably the pulseaudio provided by the pipewire backend, it is there for compatibility with apps that still rely on it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#PulseAudio_clients
I don't understand why you were downvoted, though maybe adding more info about it would be useful (server location, etc.)
