This caused pipewire-pulse to be used for Sound in stead of pulseaudio.

After these update(s) the internal speaker of the laptop is not going
automatically to mute, if the headphone is plugged in.

If I enable auto-mute, the internal speaker is going to mute, as wished.

As soon as I remove the headphone-plug,
auto-mute is immediately disabled at alsamixer.

If I plug-in the headphone again, the internal speaker is not going to 
mute, as
wished.

In fact this is the same bug as I reported some weeks ago at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998368 
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998368> concerning 
pulseaudio.
The solution suggested there for pulseaudio, does not work for 
pipewire-pulse.

AutoMute does not auto mute anymore, as it did at previous versions of
pulseaudio. You now always have to manually activate AutoMute again, before
plugging in the headphone which is not very "auto".
