Bug#1120586: pavucontrol: Peak bar doesnt gray out if muted using a pactl command

[Ruslan Odintsov]

Package: pavucontrol
Version: 6.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: a11y

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open `pavucontrol` (gtk versoin)
2. Go to "Input Devices" tab
3. Run 'pactl set-source-mute @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ 1'
4. Observe that the mute icon changes but the peak bar does not gray out

Expected behavior: CLI mute should gray out the peak bar like GUI mute.

If you click the GUI mute button, both icon and bar update correctly

On Debian 12 there was no such bug.

Also `pavucontrol-qt` correctly grays the bar.

I tried also `wpctl` - the same problem.

My pipewire is 1.2.2 (downgraded). 
I belive with 1.4 I had the same problem, but not sure.
