No, because pipewire-pulse got removed a bit later. This was in
October 2021. Since then, pipewire-pulse was no longer installed.

So there's something contradictory. If the pipewire service alone
doesn't take control of audio over pulseaudio, then the only culprit
would be pipewire-media-session. Or what? A bug in pipewire, which
would actually take control of audio even without pipewire-pulse?
