[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1021483: Pipewire keeps waking up CPU even when not playing sound

[Josh Triplett]

Package: pipewire
Version: 0.3.59-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: josh at joshtriplett.org

Reporting this as "important" because as far as I can tell my battery
life has gone down noticeably since switching from Pulseaudio to Pipewire.

Even when not playing any sound whatsoever, pipewire is waking up more
than a hundred times per second, and using ~10ms of CPU out of every 1s.

This keeps the CPU in lower sleep states, and uses more battery.
