[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#992010: pipewire: Cracking when playing sounds for Workrave

[Alex Dănilă]

Package: pipewire
Version: 0.3.32-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Since installing Pipewire there are some extra noises when Workrave is playing sounds. These are sort of a sort „popping” or „crackling” noises that can be heard right before or 
after playing the Workrave jingles. Happened with both the Pipewire package in testing and in experimental.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in package Pipewire, in Workrave or maybe in some other package. I'm also not sure what other details to include, please advise.

Attached partial outputs of journalctl --user -b | grep -i workrave and journalctl --user -b | grep -i pipewire.
