Configuring pipewire filter-chain module

I'm trying to configure the pipewire filter-chain module as per sections 4.1 and 4.1.1 of the wiki here

I've run into several issues. Firstly, there are no conf files at /usr/share/pipewire/filter-chain/. I found sink-eq6.conf from the upstream Pipewire git repo. After copying this file to ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/ and modifying the it to my specific configuration, I'm seeing this error in my logs:

pw.conf: 0x55bc850b3970: could not load mandatory module "libpipewire-module-filter-chain": No such file or directory

It seems to me like the filter-chain module is no longer built-in, as the wiki states. However, I can't seem to find where it would have moved to. I still see references to the module in the upstream git. Can anybody help clue me in? TIA.

Nevermind, figured it out. I had to install the pipewire-audio and pipewire-pulse packages. Still not sure if something has changed and the wiki needs to be updated though.
