[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1014926: pipewire: module-echo-cancel causes distortion in microphone input

[Jan K]

Package: pipewire
Version: 0.3.54-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: jkrand23 at gmail.com

After upgrading pipewire from version 0.3.53-1 to version 0.3.54-2 the echo cancellation module (module-echo-cancel) doesn't seem to work properly for me. 

When module-echo-cancel is loaded with pipewire version 0.3.54-2 there is heavy crackling in the captured microphone input, the sound is very distorted.  When the module is unloaded the mic sounds fine again (but there is no echo cancellation obviously).

With version 0.3.53-1 the module doesn't have this problem, echo cancellation works and there is no distortion.
