Zypper dup complaining about pipewire-pulseaudio-1.0.4

Back to basics…
The problem reported by the OP starts with pipewire-alsa, which requires pipewire-pulseaudio

bruno@LT-B:~

but pipewire-pulseaudio conflicts with pulseaudio (as others pointed out already).
So the basic question is:
are you switching from pulseaudio to pipewire?
If “Yes”, uninstall pulseaudio
If “No”, uninstall (or revert installation) of pipewire-alsa.
I don’t know if pipewire-alsa might be required by another package the OP is trying to install.
