Bug Description

Starting with Ubuntu 23.10 , PipeWire regularly started running into a file descriptor limits likely to a known leak which is already fixed upstream, therefore either updating or fix backporting would be required.

Symptoms vary:
- Media playback may not start
- Media playback may start but without sound
- Media playback may suppress the audio output of another source

Sample log output:
```
mod.access: 0x560d8eda5270: client 0x560d8f26fa50 sandbox check failed: Too many open files
mod.access: 0x560d8eda5270: client 0x560d8f26fa50 sandbox check failed: Too many open files
mod.client-node: can't create node: Too many open files
mod.protocol-native: connection 0x560d8f270390: could not recvmsg on fd:0: Bad file descriptor
mod.protocol-native: 0x560d8ed941a0: connection_data: client 0x560d8f26fa50 error -9 (Bad file descriptor)
```
