@solene thank you, I appreciate your work.

alt+tab: red qube
You mean cube, right? So, I think the bug affects R4.2.

The answer is here:
No, I meant cube, not qube. This one: Cube - Wikipedia

It says: PipeWire support (#6358).
But the issue is open and the purposes of commits are not clear, some of them on contrary disable pipewire-related stuff. It is not obvious what is the current situation with pipewire and pulseaudio in the R4.2.
Is there any documentation about the current situation?
What should user use in dom0 and what in templates in R4.2?
If pipewire then does it have problems with sys-audio and audio qube approach? Or should user still stick to pulseaudio manually solving the packaging conflicts as it is in R4.1?
If pipewire in dom0, than will it work with existing user’s templates (e.g. migrated from backup) that use pulseaudio?
I had the same concern in the previous thread: Qubes OS 4.2.0-rc2 is available for testing - #19 by resulin

The ticket Pipewire audio support · Issue #6358 · QubesOS/qubes-issues · GitHub was not closed because the Qubes developers forgot to do it.
The answer by @Demi about this:
I am not sure what the documentation status is.
PipeWire in dom0 is not officially supported. Audio playback and recording are known to work, but features such as sound volume save & restore don’t.
PipeWire in sys-audio and in qubes that connect to sys-audio is fully supported, at least to the extent that sys-audio is supported at all.
