Details

I have pipewire-0.3.2-1

It is auto-started when the user logs in and it keeps all the midi devices busy.
This is wrong, please do something about it.
I've had a chat with the devs and they are thinking about adding a command line option to disable midi.

Thanks,
Alex

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  This is not a packaging issue. Since you already had a chat with upstream, they'll probably provide a patch for this issue if necessary.

0.3.3 will have an option to disable midi but it you will not have to enable it because it will also automatically
release the midi devices when not in use.

But.. you probably want to disable bluetooth, because that will conflict with pulseaudio.
