pipewire problem - sounds like a bitcrusher (sometimes)

Hi, 

I've recently (not quite sure when it started) had trouble with Pipewire. In my setup, I use all the drop-in replacements for JACK, pulseaudio, alsa, etc.

The problem is that sometimes, after a while, everything starts to sound like it has a bitcrusher/downsampling effect applied. 

A typical path to the problem would be:

1 - start a browser tab that plays audio, pause the audio (everything sounds as expected)
2 - then start a youtube video in another tab while leaving the original tab open
3 - close the second tab
4 - go back to the first one and continue playback (everyhing sounds like there's a downsampling effect applied).

I usually have to restart the browser. But it's not only happening with browser applications. Muting and un-muting channels repeatedly in Ardour can 
create the same problem.

I've observed this on two laptops, both running up-to-date Arch Linux with latest Pipewire, usually with the internal sound card.

Does anyone have a hint on how to solve this?

Best,
Niklas
