pipewire installed when no audio server chosen in archinstall

I have just installed arch, using archinstall v3.0.1.

During setting up installation parameters, I chose "No audio server". Unfortunately, when chrooted to new-installed system, I noticed serie of packages of pipewire installed.
Similar behaviour was in archinstall 3.0.0, but not in archinstall v2.8.6.

Could anyone have a look, please.

I have noticed the same. Someone on reddit wrote that it could be due to pipewire needed by xdg-desktop-portal and thats why its installed even though you choose no audio server. But yes it would be nice if they fix this!
