Audio: Native Pipewire spectrum (no external Cava needed)

Are we depending on cava anywhere and if so can we drop it?

Audio: Native Pipewire spectrum (no external Cava needed)

Are we depending on cava anywhere and if so can we drop it?

It's still referenced in some source files upstream, though it seems to work fine without it. I'll leave the option present, but disabled by default.

Done.

It is probably a good idea to bump it to a 4.7.1 in the PR, as it resolves some critical bugs with direct scanouts.
