Even if it didn't crash, it's certainly not desirable to have audible bell that cannot be disabled via "xset b off" or some other sane means… And the reality on my machine is that this audible bell happens to make a sound only a fraction of the time, most of the time does nothing, and often just crashes pipewire.

I am not against backporting fixes, but to mitigate this issue I moved the
x11-bell module into its own package (since pipewire 0.3.63-3).
This new libpipewire-0.3-modules-x11 package is not pulled by dependencies, so
if you don't want to use this x11-bell module, it is possible to just uninstall
libpipewire-0.3-modules-x11.

Best,
Dylan
