is now added to the base LDFLAGS. this reduces elf (executable/shared-library) size by 10% on average.
however, these binaries are now not portable to other musl-based systems that have a musl older than 1.2.4, because older versions are incapable of loading these binaries.
removal of pipewire-media-session
pipewire-media-session was removed, as upstream explicitly recommends to not use it, and it's completely superceded by wireplumber. if you used it, make sure you don't have pipewire-media-session in /etc/apk/world, and configure any scripts you might've had to launch wireplumber instead.
