pipewire update to 0.3.48-1ubuntu2 resulted in regressions

[Robie Basak]

The SRU in bug 1985057 resulted in regression reports, including bug 1987631, currently marked as duplicates bug 1993912 and bug 1995358, and possibly bug 1994928. It's clear that we need to revert, but I don't want the metadata to close all of those regression bugs since it isn't clear that they will definitely be resolved with the revert. So this is a meta-bug to track the revert itself, to ensure that the original bug remains open after the revert lands. I will change Seb's upload to refer to this bug instead. Hopefully this is the most helpful arrangement to keep bug statuses and tooling clean and accurate.

Hello Robie, or anyone else affected,

Accepted pipewire into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pipewire/0.3.48-1ubuntu3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
