device-pine64-pinephone: force pipewire for audio

Administrator requested to merge pinephone-force-pipewire into master

PulseAudio crashes on startup and the fix 1 has been sitting unmerged for many weeks despite pings. PipeWire works fine, so this change forces it to be used.

PW works fine for Phosh and SXMO at least (with one exception 2), and long term we want to switch from PA to PW anyway, so this just hastens that switch.

Fixes #2968 (closed)

  2. On Phosh, using pw-pulse causes the volume slider in the top pulldown panel to not work sometimes. This will likely be fixed in the systemd branch once pw-pulse is started via socket activation, since it is likely a race between phosh connecting to the pw-pulse socket and pw-pulse binding it. ↩
