An easy way: when using pipewire-pulse the configuration tab of 
pavucontrol can be used to disable the PW profile of an ALSA device.

There's probably a pactl invocation, a pw config, or some wireplumber 
lua magic to do the same.

What's a professional?

That's how I use PW (as a replacement for PulseAudio, but with the 
convenience of using still using pavuctl).

And I can now use Jack with PW; my preference if to use a dummy device 
with jackd.

But for some projects, I prefer to use only ALSA to avoid issues related 
to jackd, pulseaudio or PW. Less can be more.
