Bug ID: 57187
           Summary: System's audio device switches whenever an app
                    launches, then switches back again
           Product: Wine
           Version: 9.16
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

This results in my PC's sound cutting out for a few seconds whenever I launch
something with Wine, and again if that thing is a launcher, launching something
else (e.g. Battle.net)

My primary audio output is via the onboard optical audio output (ALC1220
Digital). I also have HDMI output from my graphics card, and a USB audio
interface I only use for input. I have Pipewire installed on this Arch Linux
system with KDE Plasma.
