  1. No audio in Chrome Remote Desktop session on PipeWire: "ALSA: Couldn't open audio device: Host is down"

    In a Chrome Remote Desktop X session on PipeWire, apps were silent or failed with "Host is down". CRD puts PULSE_RUNTIME_PATH, PULSE_SINK and PIPEWIRE_REMOTE into the session, pointing at its own PipeWire, which had not started. Unset them before dbus-launch, bridge system PipeWire to CRD's FIFO, check sink volume.
