I supported this SRU in private, but with the caveat that it will be up to the SRU reviewer to judge the regression potential. I'm also on the side of backporting to noble to enhance usefulness.
I'm not sure how common the affected hardware is though. It may be safer to offer a PPA for the subset of affected devices than to roll the changes out to everyone? Pipewire+Wireplumber are not stable projects; it's a shame our policy is to take point releases and then leave users with weird media bugs, inevitably these issues will occur where we're stuck either way: leave users in a broken state, or flog ourselves maintaining enormous downstream backports. I don't have the experience in Ubuntu to confidently pick an option here. Ideally, we'd provide a rolling release of these system components to our desktop users (perhaps in a snap), until the projects reach something close to stability, but that is philosophical at this point, just offering my opinion of why I initially supported the SRU. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debcrafters packages, which is subscribed to pipewire in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2122556 Title: 3.5mm microphone recognized but can’t be used as audio input Status in OEM Priority Project: New Status in pipewire package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in pipewire source package in Noble: New Status in pipewire source package in Plucky: New Bug description: [ Impact ] Plug-in 3.5mm headset to Dell Pro 14 Premium PA14250.
