pw.context: can't load config client.conf

[Serhiy]

On 22.04 at least when KWin Wayland session is active journalctl output is regularly filled with multiple lines like

kwin_wayland: pw.context: 0x55ec11fc49c0: can't load config client.conf: No such file or directory

I guessed that the location of the file is ~/.config/pipewire/client.conf after a couple of searches. After creating an empty file there the error changes to Incorrect argument.

I would prefer it to not fill logs with any of this.

Is this still an issue?

Yes, with all the updates installed and after launching Firefox I get this:

[Expired for kwin (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
