What is recommeded: Pulseaudio or Pipewire?

I was looking at replacing vlc with mpv after reading this forum entry. I used google translate.

mpv has a requirement for pipewire. It’s the first package on XFCE that I have run into. I suppose more will be coming.

If a user installs a package that requires pipewire, and it appears it is just pipewire and not pipewire-*, does that mean users will be running 2 sound servers (inxi -A)? How does that work exactly?
