On a fresh Raspberry Pi Zero W with Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)" I get : Package 'bluealsa' has no installation candidate.

Seems like the bluealsa package is not available for Bullseye (and probably above). Some sources and alternatives in links below:

Thanks for the hint.

As stated in the description, this fork is intended to only work on Raspbian Buster. It serves as a downgrade to work with Bluealsa, as the chip on the zero1 is not powerful enough to handle Pulseaudio with Bluetooth without corrupting the sound to a noticeable degree.

Thank you for your explanation, sorry I missed that info!
