Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: debbug at 4-science.com

Dear Maintainer,
There is a problem with Trixie's current Pipewire version.

   * What led up to the situation?
	This issue began when I upgraded to Debian Trixie. It was not present in Bookworm.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
	I attempted the following fixes:
	
	Made a file in /etc/security/limits.d/50-pw-rlimits.conf
	File Contents:
	@pipewire   - rtprio  95
	@pipewire   - nice    -19
	@pipewire   - memlock 4194304

   * What was the outcome of this action?
	The issue remained unaffected.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
	Not applicable - I was attempting to apply this fix
