I wonder how your setup is different than mine. I also switched to Pipewire (some months ago) and I'm using NixOS and Arch Linux, and on both I could just change the audio output to my speakers on my monitors (via HDMI) with the usual device switch, same as before with just PulseAudio. Everything works perfectly.

This is my pipewire config, does the job perfectly for me, tracking unstable.

Off topic, but I watched the ffmpeg args that go-chromecast used and scripted it. Now I preproces my videos and use catt.

You can detect when they're h264 and use - c:v copy for speediness.

I must admit I simply didn't realize the pulseaudio commands would still work. I figured they wouldn't because they were no longer installed after disabling pulseaudio and switching to pipewire. That's why I was trying to make things work with the pw-* commands and failing.
