Public bug reported: Randomly, as I pause/play or seek a video playing video in Firefox, the audio become "garbled". It sounds like robotic. The symptom seems to be more likely to happen if one seek pretty aggressively. The symptom disappears when restarting Pipewire while the video is paused, or if I pause the video for a while and then play it.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Play a video in Firefox. Doesn't seem to matter which one, but I reproduced the problem using this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZOe7aaiqqE 2. Try pause/play, seek, do stuffs rapidly. Expected result: audio plays back correctly. Actual result: audio becomes "garbled". Listen to the attached audio clip. This is Ubuntu 22.10 with Pipewire 1.2.4-1ubuntu1 and Firefox snap version 132.0-1 (revision 5187). I'm not sure if this stems from Pipewire or Firefox, but filing against Pipewire for now.
