pipewire-pulse throws this error. I have gone through the following exact issue:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire … ssues/2137
& it lead to nowhere.

Wireplumber & pipewire starts running in the background when something is played. But pipewire-pulse doesn't. Haven't changed any configs both in system & userspace.

My mistake. Didn't update the system. No issues now.
