FYI, I have a new laptop, where I use wireplumber 0.4.13-1
(Debian stable) with the same Bluetooth devices (speakers and
headphones), and there are no such problems with it.

So either the bug has been fixed in wireplumber 0.4.13-1 or there
has been something else on the old laptop that broke wireplumber.
