📄 Description

This PR adds PulseAudio protocol support. PulseAudio and PipeWire are both commonly used on desktop Linux systems, and because PipeWire is also typically used with the PulseAudio protocol this addition supports both.

(It's true that both also support the ALSA protocol, but the PulseAudio protocol integrates a little bit better).

The direct reason why I wrote this was because the ALSA backend wasn't working well for me with my built-in speakers (it was stuttering, no idea why) and wanted to see whether using PulseAudio would avoid that. And indeed it does. But I figured this might be useful for more people.
