I agree with the sentiment: it appears to be recommended to run
PipeWire as a user so I'm not quite sure what this will give (besides
making it easier to share the configuration between multiple users,
which is a valid goal).
Just copying (parts of) the standard configuration to ~/.config is
enough to override it.

Done. I feared it would break pipewire@0.2 (it was much more used
then) but it builds.

I've added OpenSSL to build raop (apparently it's for AirPlay). For
the rest, see the next patch email.
Also, new minor versions of PipeWire and WirePlumber have been
released so I've updated the patch to reflect that.
