[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1005067: pipewire-pulse/wireplumber breaks kde audio

[Eric Valette]

Package: pipewire-pulse
Version: 0.3.45-1
Severity: important

Today, wanted to liusten some music and discovered, I had no devices seen by kde
audio. Looked at the log.
got a bunch of:
     1) /var/log/user.log.1:Feb  5 10:46:15 tri-yann4 pipewire-pulse[1824]: mod.protocol-pulse: client 0x557b90aba260 [kwin_killer_helper]: ERROR command:-1 (invalid) tag:106 error:25 (Input/output error)
     2) /var/log/user.log.1:Feb  2 09:20:43 tri-yann4 pipewire-pulse[9372]: mod.rt: could not make thread 9380 realtime using RTKit: Permission denied


removed pipewire-pulse and rebooted. Got back my audio devices. Looked at debian page
for pipewire, reinstalled pipewire-pulse, wireplumber did the user space command to start
it via systemd, also rmove /etc/pipewire as suggested.

Rebooted. Still no audio.

aplay -L list the devices correctly but they are not acessible ...
