OK that matches what we have observed elsewhere. In theory there is an audio device reservation protocol which is obeyed by both pulseaudio and pipewire, but in practice it looks like at least some versions of pipewire media server component do not obey the protocol in full (i.e. are still using control device) I cannot think of any other reason why both pulseaudio and pipewire are using the same control device.
