Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4483

mpv will not output sound with --ao=jack and pipewire, because pipewire looks up for its configuration files in /usr/share/pipewire.

Can be fixed by adding whitelist /usr/share/pipewire to either mpv.profile or whitelist-usr-share-common.inc.

We should add it to wusc IMHO.

$ grep /usr/share/pipewire /etc/firejail/*
/etc/firejail/chromium-common.profile:#whitelist /usr/share/pipewire/client.conf
/etc/firejail/firefox.profile:#whitelist /usr/share/pipewire/client.conf
/etc/firejail/librewolf.profile:#whitelist /usr/share/pipewire/client.conf
/etc/firejail/xournalpp.profile:whitelist /usr/share/pipewire
