Hi; In order to get an appropriate revision of GTK4, I pulled the apt source from Trixie. This appears to be been successful, along with its dependencies. As for EasyEffects, I attempted an installation of 7.0.1, with no change in the broken behaviour.
Pulling Pipewire and related packages from backports is a little difficult, since KDE Plasma makes some of them dependencies. It is possible to work around this with dpkg, but directly patching from backports is not successful. This probably isn't an issue on other distributions, so is probably not important. My suggestion is to remove easyeffects from stable, and to add pipewire 1.0.3 as a dependency of 7.0.1. I can then write an unofficial guide to installing gtk4(4.12.5) from trixie, which can appear as a strictly unsupported approach on the EasyEffects wiki.
