I supported this SRU in private, but with the caveat that it will be up
to the SRU reviewer to judge the regression potential. I'm also on the
side of backporting to noble to enhance usefulness.

I'm not sure how common the affected hardware is though. It may be safer
to offer a PPA for the subset of affected devices than to roll the
changes out to everyone?

Pipewire+Wireplumber are not stable projects; it's a shame our policy is
to take point releases and then leave users with weird media bugs,
inevitably these issues will occur where we're stuck either way: leave
users in a broken state, or flog ourselves maintaining enormous
downstream backports. I don't have the experience in Ubuntu to
confidently pick an option here.

Ideally, we'd provide a rolling release of these system components to
our desktop users (perhaps in a snap), until the projects reach
something close to stability, but that is philosophical at this point,
just offering my opinion of why I initially supported the SRU.
