PulseAudio is broken again in NixOS, and I can't just fix it
I don't need any features PA provides, but it's always the reason why the sound can't be even played
looks like the message is that I must learn it anyway, but I don't want to, I don't need it

The solution is a simple one @amiloradovsky, just use Pipewire instead. 😂
@Maholmire this means using a different distribution: NixOS uses Systemd and PulseAudio; and I don’t even need the sound system to be a server, I’d be fine with OSS (/dev/audio) TBH
If I recall correctly Pipewire is available as a package in NixOS.
@Maholmire well I’ve disabled PA and enabled Jack and PipeWire:
services.jack.alsa.enable = true;
services.jack.jackd.enable = true;
services.pipewire.enable = true;
services.pipewire.pulse.enable = true;
alsamixer seems to work, but still neither MPlayer nor Firefox play any sound

@amiloradovsky @Maholmire You don't need to enable Jack directly. Pipewire has all the protocols in itself.
