[FEAT] Display Sound Server (PulseAudio/PipeWire) with Version

Description

Feature Request: Display Sound Server with Version

Description:

It would be helpful if fastfetch could detect and display the current sound server on Linux, including its version.
Example output:

• PipeWire 1.2.7
• PulseAudio 16.1

Why is this useful?

• Provides a better system overview, especially for users troubleshooting audio issues or configuring their setup.
• Consistent display alongside other system information in fastfetch.

Possible Implementation:

• Use pactl info for PulseAudio detection.
• Use pipewire --version for PipeWire.
• Use pactl info | grep "Server Name"

Thanks for the awesome work on fastfetch! 🚀

Motivation

Fastfetch provides detailed system information, but currently, it does not display the active sound server on Linux.
Many users switch between PulseAudio and PipeWire, and knowing which one is running (and its version) is useful for troubleshooting, configuration, and system monitoring.

By adding this feature, fastfetch would provide a more complete system overview, similar to how it already displays GPU, CPU, and other system components.

Please try fastfetch -s sound --sound-format '{platform-api}'

Thanks for the help! With the following entry in config.jsonc, PipeWire is correctly displayed:

{
"type": "sound",
"format": "{platform-api}"
}

The output looks like this:

Sound: PipeWire 1.2.7

If anyone wants to display PipeWire in fastfetch – this method works perfectly! 🎉
