Dear Maintainer,

Im suffering from the same Upstream Bug https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/369 (fixed)

> I have a VM where I tend to assign/bind a graphics card using VFIO/OVMF and it stopped working after the move (completely freezes libvirtd when I tried booting). After fair amount of debugging I realized that stopping pipewire fixes this problem.
