I would have appreciated this information as well. I hoped that it will
either fix by itself or a NEWS.Debian pointer appears.
It took me quite some time to figure that out…

Bug#997862: wireplumber: Bluetooth is not supported, breaking audio of existing systems

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: wireplumber
Version: 0.4.4-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After the upgrade of my system, which lead to wireplumber
installation, Bluetooth audio is no longer working.

In the journalctl logs, I can see:

Oct 26 10:18:29 zira wireplumber[1701]: SPA handle 'api.bluez5.enum.dbus' could 
not be loaded; is it installed?
Oct 26 10:18:29 zira wireplumber[1701]: PipeWire's BlueZ SPA missing or broken. 
Bluetooth not supported.
Oct 26 10:18:34 zira bluetoothd[844]: src/service.c:btd_service_connect() 
a2dp-sink profile connect failed for 7C:96:D2:4E:98:41: Protocol not available

Note: I'm just using pulseaudio, not pirewire. The wireplumber package
is installed only via dependencies, thus should not break anything
that is unrelated:

zira:~> aptitude why wireplumber
i   zenity Dependslibwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 (>= 2.15.1)
i A libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37   Recommends xdg-desktop-portal-gtk  
i A xdg-desktop-portal-gtk Dependsxdg-desktop-portal (>= 1.7.1)

i A pipewire   Dependspipewire-bin (= 0.3.39-2)   
i A pipewire-bin   Recommends wireplumber | pipewire-media-session

That, just because I'm using a package that display graphical
dialog boxes from shell scripts!

I don't know whether the issue is due to wireplumber or pipewire-pulse
(which was also installed as recommended by wireplumber), or both.
FYI, the following processes were running:

vinc17  16991679  0 10:18 ?00:00:00 /usr/bin/pipewire
vinc17  17001679  0 10:18 ?00:00:00 /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse
vinc17  17011679  0 10:18 ?00:00:00 /usr/bin/wireplumber

After reverting to the previous installation, everything is fine with
the following processes running:

vinc17  16861666  0 11:07 ?00:00:00 /usr/bin/pipewire
vinc17  16871666  0 11:07 ?00:00:00 
/usr/bin/pipewire-media-session
vinc17  16881666  0 11:07 ?00:00:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio 
--daemonize=no --log-target=journal

Wireplumber needs the libspa-0.2-bluetooth package to support
bluetooth. I guess it was missing from your system.
libspa-0.2-bluetooth is only a plugin, wireplumber can work without
it. This is why it is not a dependency.

Best,
Dylan

OK, but then, this should be announced in a NEWS.Debian file
(perhaps pipewire's), since this package has to be installed
manually by the user in the upgrade.

Ideally, it should be installed automatically for a user who
upgrades from pulseaudio with bluetooth support (note that
this is an automatic upgrade with the new version of pipewire,
not a switch by the user).
