My gnome-session has been running from Nov 27 until today Dec 6.

Now pipewire-pulse stopped working again:

someuser at pureos:~$ paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
Connection failure: Connection terminated
→ Can't play sound via pulseaudio
someuser at pureos:~$ pw-play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
→ Sound via pipewire still works

At the start
`lsof | grep 'memfd:pulseaudio (deleted)' | cut -c1-16 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n`
returned

```

      96 firefox-b 48541
     123 gnome-she 47208
     310 firefox-b 48996
```

now it shows:

```

I became aware of the problem, because after waking up from suspend I couldn't start playing a radio station in shortwave anymore which showed me instead of the play button a red 'no passing' sign.

`journalctl -S -4d -t pipewire-pulse | cat` shows
