Would video be a bit easier to understand here compared to compositor?

Hmm I agree that the term compositor is a bit too contextual, but video is too inaccurate IMO and a bit confusing - people might think it may only be related to video displaying programs like vlc, and not the basic functionality of the desktop environment etc. I'd prefer to be accurate and less immediately clear for inexperienced users, but I'm open to hear other suggestions.
The previous assert message was inaccurate, as it didn't reflect the assertion condition, misleading users into thinking that either pulseaudio or pipewire should be used as a sound server.
