ardour7 can't load any instrument plugins when using pipewire-jack

Hi everyone,
It seems that no matter which instruments/synth plugins I try, ardour hangs when asked to load any of them. No messages appear in console when that happens. I am using pipewire as a shim for jack (with wireplumber), but when I set ardour to use ALSA instead, all of the plugins load normally. To be clear, this only happens with instrument plugins, effect plugins all load normally.

I have tried LD_PRELOADing a past version of libinstpatch as described here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=284448 but that doesn't fix anything. I guess this is a different problem anyway, as this happens with all instrument plugins, not Calf ones.

How should I go about fixing this? I have no idea what could be wrong with ardour or pipewire.

Re: ardour7 can't load any instrument plugins when using pipewire-jack

I've found ardour +  pipewire to behave quite strangely for a long time. Haven't investigated further.

The "fix" I used a while ago was to go back to pulseaudio + jack2, which also doesn't feel as stable as pure ALSA + jack2…
