Steps to reproduce:

1. Have an ALSA-Only system

2. check about:support for any devices in the 'Media' section

3. Check for input with Jitsi or another chat platform.

4. Use pipewire-alsa standalone without pipewire-pulse

Actual results:

There is no 'default' interface (or any interface), and my microphone does not work.

Expected results:

There is a 'default' ALSA interface, and my microphone does work.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

have you installed pulseaudio, if not then perhaps try that i.e. apt-get install libpulse0 pulseaudio

My goal is to be on an ALSA only system, not using pulseaudio. Microphone works fine under ffmpeg, arecord, and various applications.

Aditionally, i get errors like these when something tries to access the devices:

Telling me this is a duplicate doesn't help, the issue is from 6 years ago and somehow every other application still works with ALSA. What is this excuse?
