Bug#1126514: gnome-shell: Crash on Bluetooth headset connection

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 49.2-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

gnome-shell currently crashes whenever a Bluetooth headset is connected.
(In my case, a Sony WH-1000XM3.) In the system log, messages along these lines can be found:

Jan 27 14:08:47 arc gnome-shell[3022]: Gvc:ERROR:../subprojects/gvc/gvc-mixer-stream.c:535:gvc_mixer_stream_get_port: code should not be reached
Jan 27 14:08:47 arc gnome-shell[3022]: Bail out! Gvc:ERROR:../subprojects/gvc/gvc-mixer-stream.c:535:gvc_mixer_stream_get_port: code should not be reached
Jan 27 14:08:47 arc gnome-shell[3022]: == Stack trace for context 0x557838b42680 ==

It appears that this issue in the Red Hat tracker reflects the same problem:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2431525

In addition, it appears that a fix for this is available upstream, linked in
that tracker entry. It would be nice if this fix could be made available in
Debian.

Thanks!
Andreas
