Description Ed Tomlinson 2023-03-06 17:00:23 UTC 
SUMMARY

Open a new tab in konsole causes pipewire-pulse to stop and start.  This either pauses or stops video playback from chrome etc.

NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.   Start a video playing in Chromium/Brave etc
2.   Open a new tab in konsole

I've also noticed this happening when mkinitcpio runs 

OBSERVED RESULT

"journalctl --user -u pipewire-pulse -f" show pipewire pulseautio stopping, stopped and starting.  The video will pause or stop playing.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I am using Wayland.  Looking back in my logs it looks like this started happening after 5.27-1 was installed.  I'd have selected kpipewire as the component if it was selectable...  There have been reports on pipewire git issues: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/3070
