Pipewire + pipewire-pulse as main audio server

Pipewire is a really solid technology and I've been using it for a while on Linux, works great for routing, works great for pretty much everything. I've since tried out FreeBSD on a dual boot partition and I noticed that you guys do not use it! - using, instead, either OSS, Sndio, or something else. In order to get screencasting support on Niri, the wayland compositor i'm using, it requires pipewire to be running on the background (and the GNOME xdg-portal, too). I just thought that like, if I already have pipewire running, why not just use it instead of sndio? Would that be possible? I've just noticed no sinks really showed up on Helvum (even when running with wireplumber), apparently it just loads dummy interfaces instead of binding to anything.

My system if anyone needs that https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=e4e1bf6fa2
