Description:
Updating alsa-lib to 1.2.4-1 breaks pulseaudio on my Thinkpad T14 AMD. Pulseaudio cannot detect the output and these errors are shown in the journalctl:

Playing a WAVE file with aplay works. It also restores Pulseaudio output device until Pulseaudio / session restarts:

aplay --device sysdefault:CARD=Generic_1 wav_2mb.wav

Running pulseaudio --kill results in the same errors in journalctl.

A bunch of connected alsa updates have been released but only downgrading alsa-lib returns the functionality back.

Steps to reproduce:
- Update alsa-lib to 1.2.4-1
- Run pulseaudio --kill; pulseaudio --start
- Soundcard not detected in pavucontrol / plasma-pa
Workaround
- Downgrade alsa-lib
OR
- Run
aplay --device sysdefault:CARD=Generic_1 some_wav_file.wav
