Audio stops randomly since upgrade to pipewire 1.2.1.

Description:

This bug could be related to this one - #7 (closed) - because bad behaviour started with pipewire 1.2.0-3 release.

Audio stops randomly. It could be in a youtube or on a local video, and also in music player like deadbeef or Quodlibet.

I downgraded libpipewire pipewire pipewire-audio pipewire-pulse libwireplumber (to version 0.5.4-1) and wireplumber (to version 0.5.4-1) and everything was working again flawlessly.

Additional info:

If it matters, here is the inxi --audio output.

Audio:
  Device-1: AMD Raven/Raven2/Fenghuang HDMI/DP Audio
    driver: snd_hda_intel
  Device-2: AMD Family 17h/19h HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel
  Device-3: Logitech Webcam C270 driver: snd-usb-audio,uvcvideo
    type: USB
  API: ALSA v: k6.6.40-1-lts status: kernel-api
  Server-1: PipeWire v: 1.2.0 status: active

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Get an Archlinux up to date with last version of pipewire
  2. Launch a youtube video
  3. Wait a little

Audio will stop randomly and it is really annoying.
