[BUG] mpd 0.23 and pipewire: no sound

Yesterday I noticed mpd 0.23 was out with, as per release notes, native pipewire support.

So as per wiki I replaced the pulse output with:

audio_output {
        type            "pipewire"
        name            "PipeWire Sound Server"
}

in ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf

systemctl --user status mpd.service tells me the service is active (as is pipewire) and ncmpcpp connects to mpd, but I cannot play anything.

Reverting to pulse works normally. Any hints as to what might be wrong?

EDIT: Nevermind, it is an actual bug: https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/1288
