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.

It also happens in GNOME. Also with Proton versions 9 and 8, but not 7. I'll
test some vanilla Wine versions to see where the issue starts happening.

This issue occurs with Wine 8.0, but not Wine 7.9.

Deleting the files in ~/.local/state/wireplumber/ and then rebooting solved my
issue!
