I am afraid caffeine-ng does not support PipeWire for checking on audio sources & sinks, causing its crash.
Is that possible or is it a problem of mine?
This the output i get with --verbose:
❯ caffeine --verbose

If it was confirmed, I am afraid the source of the problem is that caffene-ng depends on a seemingly dead lib: pulsectl.
The other option that came to my mind is that PipeWire does no longer allow to "spuff" other application's volume, so we can't know if anything is being played. Unfortunately I am not an expert and I cannot really confirm that. All i can say is that, searching online, I can't really find a library to substitute pulsectl.
I stumbled upon pipewire_python, but it's a pretty recent (and active) project and i don't think it supports the functionality we need.
