Hi Simon,

I am no Pipewire expert like you and some of the remote connectivity
technologies that are available for use. However, I am happy to add
gnome-remote-desktop to my watch packages for testing and helping out
where I am able. I will look at upstream in due course and work with
any other like minded individuals on this be that in the GNOME and
remote teams.

Regards

Phil
