Pipewire nodes on hover

SUMMARY
When I hover over an opened application icon in the "icon-only task manager" 2 or more pipewire nodes are created (kwin-wayland and plasmashell) these nodes remain open until I hover a closed application icon (pinned).
I appended a video showing the issue.

Thanks for the bug report.

In the video:
A pipewire graph Qt app is open.
There is a connection between input_1 under plasmashell to output_1 in kwin_wayland
There is a similar link between OBS and kwin_wayland
Under Built-in Audio Analog Stereo there are capture_FL and capture_FR 

After moving the cursor over the System Settings icon in the task manager, the plasmashell link disappears
Hovering the cursor over OBS, it reappears

After seeing the recording, I'm not sure what the bug is vs. the expected behavior. Can you please fill this out from the issue template? Thanks.
