Bug 489344

plasma 6.1.0 was working perfectly with easyeffects.
Since 6.1.1 easyeffects only works as long as pavucontrol is running.
This seems to be due to the fact, that pipewire sources/sinks get suspended after 5 seconds

For example, i have a routing of audacious output through easyeffects (EE), in parallel, EE uses the input of e.g. a usb camera-microphone (logitech brio)
If you open EE gui, you see the spectrum-analyzer of the output channel running, but the input-spectrum analyzer (brio mic) is flat zero.
Now, start pavucontrol, restart EE and the mic captures input which is displayed in the spectrum-analyzer of EE.

Stop pavucontrol (let EE running) and pretty much immediately the sepctrum anayzer of the brio-mic stops. (output is still working)

This is in stark contrast to 6.1.0 where this was working perfectly

Using a bluetooth headset (jabra 65 se) - which was working properly in 6.1.0 - has the effect that audacious does not even play music any more. Use pavucontrol to check the output and we see (in playback tab) of audacious an 'undefined' entry in the drop-down choice.
Even selecting other channel (speakers, wired headphone) does not work, until you disconnect the jabra BT headset.

Same here 6.1.0 was working flawlessly

Any help is appreciated!!
