Applet showing multiple earbud entries

SUMMARY
Reconnecting bluetooth earbuds causes duplicated entries in the applet, and breaks volume control keyboard shortcuts. Restarting plasmashell removes them. I'm using pipewire as a backend.

helvum and pavucontrol don't show any anomalies.

Disconnecting them emits following events in the journal, I have no idea if it's relevant:

Aug 17 15:34:23 lantea wireplumber[4115]: (bluez_output.AC_80_0A_1F_5E_11.1-91) running -> error (Received error event)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  disconnect earbuds
2.  reconnect earbuds

OBSERVED RESULT
multiple pairs of earbuds


EXPECTED RESULT
there can be only one pair of earbuds
