[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#973836: pipewire 0.3.14-1 causes pulseaudio failures on gnome desktop

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: src:pipewire
Version: 0.3.14-1
Severity: important
Control: notfound -1 0.3.12-1

I'm running debian unstable on a (fairly old) Sony Vaio laptop, with
what a standard GNOME desktop.

I often run "pavucontrol" to get into detailed fiddling with my audio.

When pipewire upgraded to 0.3.14-1, pavucontrol no longer gives me any
sort of control over the audio device (the error text says it's waiting).

Similarly, other pulseaudio-using applications don't work right -- in
some cases hanging for ~30 seconds while (i think) waiting to hear back
from a pulseaudio service.

If i downgrade all the pipewire packages to 0.3.12-1, then things start
working again.

In all these tests, I have pulseaudio 13.0-5 installed correctly on the
relevant system.
