Application: plasmashell (5.24.3)

Qt Version: 5.15.3
Frameworks Version: 5.92.0

Windowing System: X11
Distribution: "Arch Linux"

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:

Since Iswitched from pulseaudio to pipewire a few months ago, plasma sometimes crashes when switching users (both users run plasma on X11). Users are *not* in the audio group.

Hypothesis is that it's crashing because unlike pulseaudio, pipewire does more aggressive device adding/removing on user switch.

There are a few other long fixed plasma crashes regarding device adding/removing but this one still happens on up to date plasma.

The crash can be reproduced sometimes.

-- Backtrace:
Application: Plasma (plasmashell), signal: Segmentation fault
