Works for me with that file when I play it through a Bluetooth speaker, though I don't have Bluetooth headphones to test your specific use case.

I think this is going to end up being an issue in the Bluetooth or audio stack, both owhich are upstream of us in KDE. I'd recommend starting by filing a bug at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues
