+Subject: [PATCH] src: setlocale in main() for tools and the daemon
+
+Previously, pw_init calls setlocale(), but this will change in future.
+Setting the locale should be done by the main application, and is needed
+in wireplumber for e.g. for translated UI elements.
+
+Set the locale in main() for wireplumber daemon and tools, to have the
+locale set also with the new pw_init behavior.
+
+Set also LC_NUMERIC to C, to match old pw_init behavior.
