Audio: a headless host has no speakers, and on a LAN with AirPlay devices PipeWire picks a random
HomePod as default — so desktop audio (which the host captures from the default sink's monitor)
went to a HomePod over AirPlay instead of to the client, and there was no "Punktfunk" output to
select. Ship a `punktfunk-sink.conf` (a `support.null-audio-sink` adapter — NOT the non-existent
module-null-sink, which makes pipewire refuse to start) with high priority.session so it's the
default; run-headless-kde.sh installs it and restarts pipewire once on first install. The host then
captures its monitor and streams it. (Disable AirPlay sinks out of band: `dnf remove
pipewire-config-raop`.)
Input: the host's libei portal D-Bus connection goes stale when the compositor session restarts the
portal under it, and the in-process reopen loop can't recover it (EIS setup keeps timing out) — only
a full restart does. Add PartOf=punktfunk-kde-session.service so the host restarts with the session.
Both verified live on the Fedora 44 KDE box.
