Because, when I wrote this, I didn't know ther ewas the possibility to
use speech-dispatcher with pipewire. Well as far as I understand it, it
still uses Pulse Audio in a way because, at the moment,
speech-dispatcher does not implement a pipewire output method so one has
to install pipewire-pulse (on Debian) so that pipewire emulates a
pulseaudio interface speech-dispatcher can connect to.

Or am I missing something?

I know that, of course. I'm a full-time braille user aspiring to
experiment with audio to see whether that could bring a gain either in
productivity, or in saving energy or perhaps even both.
