Dear Maintainer,

After updating pipewire to version 1.4.1-1, I've been experiencing audio glitches that occur repeatedly a few seconds apart. I don't know the appropriet way to describe them but they are kind of distortion, like if samples were missing or being played out of order.
As a workaround, I restart pipewire service, e.g.:

```
systemctl --user restart pipewire.service
```
