This clearly states that the FDK license is incompatible with the GPL.

For pipewire that should be okay, because it is Expat, if nothing makes
the whole thing LGPL.  For gstreamer and pulseaudio it's pretty much not
okay, because they are some form of GPL.

Right, pulseaudio daemon is itself LGPL, but it is depending against GPL libraries making the resulting binary GPL

gstreamer itself seems to be LGPL though? Being plugins based makes it a bit difficult to see what's actually loaded at runtime
