Sort of kind of. The actual drivers are still ALSA which both pulse and pipewire build on top of. Then there's JACK which is older but basically tried to be Pipewire before Pipewire. Lastly there's WirePlumber which is an automation/scripting thing built on top of Pipewire. So depending on what you're doing you end up having to wrangle with a minimum of Pipewire and ALSA, and might also need to mess with WirePlumber and Pulse (as Pipewire exposes a Pulse API).

Just install wireplumber, plus the pipewire modules for alsa and pulseaudio (pipewire-alsa and pipewire-pulse, respectively). These 3 will run any audio application.
