 * **New features**
 
+  * Introduce pipewire audio backend
+
+    The QEMU hypervisor driver now allows setting ``pipewire`` backend for
+    ``<audio/>`` device. Please note, that for domains under system URI it
+    might be necessary to set various environment variables (e.g.
+    ``PIPEWIRE_REMOTE`` and/or ``PIPEWIRE_RUNTIME_DIR``) to point QEMU process
+    to a PipeWire daemon running under a non-privileged user. See `knowledge base
+    <https://libvirt.org/kbase/qemu-passthrough-security.html#xml-document-additions>`_
+    for more information on passing additional environment variables.
+
 * **Improvements**
 
 * **Bug fixes**
