[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1133171: pipewire 1.6.3-1 cannot load external plugin

After some investigation, I believe the issue is related to the change
introduced in pipewire 1.6.3:
SPA: Avoid loading plugins from absolute paths that are not in the search
path.

Previously, I had the plugin installed in:

/home/myuser/.ladspa/

With pipewire 1.6.3 the plugin was not loaded, but after moving it to:

/usr/lib/ladspa/

it works correctly again.

Would it make sense to include a user plugin directory (e.g. ~/.ladspa or
~/.local/lib/ladspa) in the search path?

Please let me know if further information or testing would be helpful.
