Ah! Okay! I thought, Server-1 was part of pipewire-jack…
Now, it's deinstalled…

:~$ inxi -Axxx
Audio:
  Device-1: Intel 7 Series/C216 Family High Definition Audio vendor:
Lenovo
    driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus-ID: 00:1b.0 chip-ID: 8086:1e20
    class-ID: 0403
  API: ALSA v: k6.12.74+deb13+1-rt-amd64 status: kernel-api
  Server-1: PipeWire v: 1.4.2 status: active with: 1: pipewire-pulse
    status: active 2: wireplumber status: active 3: pipewire-alsa type:
plugin
    4: pw-jack type: plugin

Still, linux-show-player and pw-jack won't work together. I thought,
this one could lead me to a solution, unfortunately, it doesn't…

Greets!
