working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!

Warning: Your /home directory is a symlink.
This is known to cause issues with formula linking, particularly when installing
multiple formulae that create symlinks in shared directories.

While this may be a standard directory structure in some distributions
(e.g. Fedora Silverblue) there are known issues as-is.

If you encounter linking issues, you may need to manually create conflicting
directories or use `brew link --overwrite` as a workaround.

We'd welcome a PR to fix this functionality.

Mpv does not default to pipewire, but to pulseaudio

And this is an issue because???

[hansjansen2]

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/home

It provides lower latency and less overhead. And a cleaner and more future‑proof audio stack.

Is this a feature request? Not sure what do you want.

[hansjansen2]

I thought it was a bug, but it was intentional so it is a feature request.

[daeho-ro]

OK, you wants to add pipewire feature to mpd mpv, right?

I have noticed that there is no libpipewire in homebrew,

• https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire
• https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/blob/7d81cd4225a46afc8c0abab1413b9981c14c2479/src/lib/pipewire/meson.build#L1-L3
• https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/24500c5e27da85d06cc3d3b2278f5a71ee6f9785/meson.build#L901

this should be added first and then add it as a dependency of mpd mpv.

[SMillerDev]

The issue is about mpv, not mpd.
