The core ships no services.pipewire in the generic baseline. Plasma gets audio through an nixpkgs mkDefault, GNOME does not, so GNOME hosts have no sound.

Fix: PipeWire (alsa + pulse) + rtkit as a mandatory core block in the generic profile, desktop-agnostic. Do not rely on the Plasma mkDefault.

Target: 0.1.1
Fix commit: 3ed90f9

Tested, written and integrated by a human; the code is AI-assisted.
