wireplumber 0.5.13-1 crashes GNOME session
After the recent update to wireplumber 0.5.13, I can no longer use my bluetooth headset's microphone capability. Whenever an application (say, Chrome when I start a Meet or Zoom web meeting) tries to access the microphone, the GNOME session is immediately crashed and I'm thrown back to GDM. The same goes for when starting a huddle in Slack.
As a first aid, I reverted to wireplumber 0.5.12, and that seems to work fine. I haven't had any time to troubleshoot this in more depth, but did anybody experience the same issue? My setup is running latest GNOME (49) on wayland, so nothing fancy I'd say.

You're not alone indeed. I got the same issue. Thanks for the hint about the workaround!

I'm having the same issue. I installed the AUR `downgrade` package, then I used it to downgrade packages:
```
sudo downgrade wireplumber libwireplumber
```
and chose 0.5.12 for both. Hopefully this resolves it.

How did you revert your WirePlumber? I think I have a similar problem with my Bluetooth headset connection and related session crashes.
