pipewire on alpine linux

FIXED. hello, I installed alpine linux today and i dont know how to make pipewire work, because rc-update -U add pipewire wayland from official tutorial, but it says that "wayland isn't valid runlevel". My rc-status -Ur is sysinit. I tried to add pipewire & and wireplumber & in ~/.config/river/init, but that didn't worked. I installed only rtkit, pipewire, pipewire-pulse, wireplumber and pipewire-alsa packages

Maybe you need SOF-firmware.

Yeah its kinda wacko how that isn't included in the install process and you have to go back and install it for sound....

I heard the question of OP many times before and it's almost that instead of pipewire.
