How to file a helpful issue

Qubes OS release

R4.2

Brief summary

Using pipewire agent in Ubuntu jammy, results in a constantly flowing data even if nothing is playing.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Build and install Ubuntu jammy template
  2. Work around Audio doesn't work out of the box in Debian bookworm and Ubuntu jammy template  #8193 (qvm-service --enable VMNAME pipewire)
  3. Check journalctl --user in VM and pactl list sink-inputs in dom0

Expected behavior

Both streams (input and output) are corked.

Actual behavior

The playback stream is not corked.
Furthermore, the pipewire agent is trying to read audio-input stream (and due to #7656 it results in a lot of Underrun: asked to read 8192 bytes, but only 0 available messages).

The issue doesn't appear to affect Fedora 38.

It might be that some process in Ubuntu template connected to pipewire is keeping the streams active, but I'm not sure how to check that. Stopping pipewire-pulse service/socket does not help.

PipeWire is not supported on Ubuntu 22.04 and per discussions in #pipewire at OFTC PipeWire is not supportable on that OS. Therefore, the Ubuntu 22.04 (and below) templates should not install PipeWire at all.
