Description:
Since 1:0.3.29-1 some chromium/electron applications seem to have problems with the pipewire pulse server (see upstream issues).
This seems to be fixed with 2a8b7594bc508a1f9af0e2fb3455c3d8dc4de006 [1].
I don't know if upstream plans a point or bugfix release, so it would be nice if you could backport the commit to 1:0.3.29-2 or something similar.

[1] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/commit/2a8b7594bc508a1f9af0e2fb3455c3d8dc4de006

Steps to reproduce:
* Successively play multiple videos in chromium
* Let discord client idle for 10s and mute/unmute yourself (no sound effect)
* Seek a song in the official spotify client (breaks playback)

Upstream issues:
* https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1258
* https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1267
* https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1274
* https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1275
This task depends upon
