I don't blain you. There are a few simple commands that do not require 
install remove steps. Basically remove the pointer at PW's version of 
libjack and ldconfig. Not sure what that does for "pulse"/jack bridging

Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.63)

 	Ardour exports still need to be done in RT or I have to reboot.
