Believe it or not, that's actually the official slackware forum. And whatever solution those guys come up with, it will likely become the official solution.

The slackware solution involves a project that nobody has heard of before, just so it can imitate the "user-level service" feature provided by systemd: https://github.com/raforg/daemon

The slackware solution requires starting those 3 processes (pipewire, pipewire-media-session, pipewire-pulse) separately from 3 different .desktop files, likely because the daemon tool above can't properly reap the pipewire-pulse process (not sure whose fault is this though).
On the other hand, the gentoo solution can start all 3 processes with just 1 .desktop files, because `pkill` takes care of it. Simple and effective.
I think the key difference, in this case, is that the slackware guys are trying their best to imitate a systemd feature, while the gentoo guys seem to focus more on finding the best way to allow users to enjoy pipewire.
