[SOLVED] Bluetooth A2DP cancels pause in media players (pipewire)

This issue has been fixed on pipewire 0.3.52 (2022-06-09).

------------------------------------------------------------

Temporary fix for this problem

For a single user:
making file ~/.config/wireplumber/bluetooth.lua.d/51-dummyplayer.lua with content

bluez_monitor.properties["bluez5.dummy-avrcp-player"] = false

and restart wireplumber.

systemctl --user restart wireplumber

For all users:
making file /etc/wireplumber/bluetooth.lua.d/51-dummyplayer.lua with content

bluez_monitor.properties["bluez5.dummy-avrcp-player"] = false

and restart system.

Thanks pvir for the solution.

Description of the problem

I use a translator, sorry for the mistakes.

Several months ago I changed my old os with pulseaudio to arch with pipewire.
When using Bluetooth headphones in media players (vlc, mpv, mplayer, smplayer) with the A2DP profile, the pause is canceled. 2 out of 3 my devices have the problem. There is no problem on profiles other than A2DP.
This problem is not present in firefox and audacious.
Example:
I watch a movie in smplayer, I pause, a quiet noise sounds for 5 seconds, the pause is canceled without my command.

Has anyone had a similar problem?
