There are some problems with play-sound, but I didn't find an active bug
for them. Before working on them I have a couple of questions:
- Is sound playing synchronous on purpose?
- To support :data, we can use the PlaySound function, but we will lose
the ability to play files other than wav. We can maintain the current
code for files, and use PlaySound for :data. Another option would be to
simply save data to a temp file and play the file.

It's synchronous because AFAIK the equivalent features on GNU/Linux
play sound synchronously. We have a policy of not installing features
that might put non-free systems at an advantage. So we can make the
sound playing on Windows asynchronous (which is very easily done on
Windows) once there is such a capability on free systems.

I'd say the former is preferable, but without losing the ability to
play the files we can today. That is, maintain the current code for
files and add new code for :data.
Thanks.

Should we add support for PipeWire on GNU/Linux?

I don't know what PipeWire is, so I have no opinion on this.
