Description
I try to run the two commands at the beginning and i noticed that its different from what you show

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by comparing the guide's opening pactl list cards and pactl list sinks instructions with the reporter's PipeWire output. Determine what discrepancy the guide should address; done means the documented commands and expected output accurately cover this setup.
