&gt; As mentioned earlier, the behavior still appears tied to the restriction 
&gt; introduced in 1.6.3 regarding loading plugins from absolute paths 
&gt; outside the search path. Plugins located in a user directory (e.g. 
&gt; ~/.ladspa) are still not picked up, while moving them to /usr/lib/ 
&gt; ladspa/ works as expected.
&gt; 
&gt; Since this behavior is intentional, it shouldn't be considered a bug. 
&gt; That said, if you think it would make sense to allow this use case by 
&gt; including a user plugin directory (e.g. ~/.ladspa or ~/.local/lib/ 
&gt; ladspa) in the search path, I'd be happy to test it. However, I would 
&gt; stick with the upstream behavior, I shouldn't have opened this report in 
&gt; the first place, and it should be closed as wontfix/invalid.

This should be fixed with pipewire 1.6.6:

   - Relax LADSPA path loading. Absolute paths are allowed when loading
     modules from a config file. They are now only blocked when loading
     the pulse ladspa modules and filter-chains in nodes because those
     can load ladspa plugins in other processes. (#5222)
