I'm going to comment twice to show exactly what we're talking about here. First, here's without the version in noble-proposed:

$ apt-cache policy pipewire

* Connected Behringer X-Touch to computer via USB
* Started Ardour
* Selected X-Touch as the Mackie controller

Result: No response from X-Touch other than population of colors in scribble strip from my project file. (see attached picture)

Explanation: The "Scribble Strip" is where engineers used to literally "scribble" the channel assignments on a mixer to what the channel assignment was for and would sometimes color code. Ardour is capable of not only populating the LCD scribble strip, but also assigning color code. Unfortunately, due to the long SysEx messages getting skipped, only the short SysEx messages consisting of the color assignments are getting through.

We're also supposed to see the faders automatically move and a timecode in the upper-right-hand corner for the position of the "tape head" of the audio workstation, telling us where we are in the recording. That also is not populating. Moreover, any control changes we make are not being sent back to Ardour properly.
