Video demonstration.

When viewing "pw-top" or Carla, I can see new audio connections made each time when opening the "Plasma PA" widget (with the Applications tab open) from tray when an app like Firefox or Spotify are paused. The connections immediately disappear when an audio starts playing from the specific apps.

This is when using PipeWire, I don't know how (or if) it behaves the same on PulseAudio.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open an app like Firefox, open a YouTube video and then pause it.
2.  Or open Spotify, play something for a second and then pause it.
3.  Open "pw-top" in terminal
4. Start opening and closing the Audio Volume (with the Applications shown, not the devices) widget located in the system tray.

OBSERVED RESULT
"Plasma PA" clients start appearing in pw-top, and only disappear when playing audio from the apps that had their audio paused.

EXPECTED RESULT
The "Plasma PA" clients should disappear regardless if the audio client has their audio suspended/paused or not.
