Bug#1034462: Pipewire: Inappropriate ioctl for device

reassign 1034462 pipewire-media-session 0.4.1-3
thanks
I use snapshots rather than backports (for unrelated reasons). After replacing  
pipewire-media-session with wireplumber 0.4.2-1, the particular ioctl error 
message is gone (but there are others instead). Therefore, bug report 
reassigned to the (dying) pipewire-media-session.

This version is not available in Bullseye, can you upgrade to the latest version
available in bullseye-backports (i.e. 0.3.65-2~bpo11+1)?

pipewire-media-session is dead upstream, instead it would be better to switch to
wireplumber. 0.4.13-1~bpo11+1 is available in bullseye-backports.

Package: pipewire
Version: 0.3.56-1
I have very broken mic input in audacity. While looking into log, I saw the 
following lines:
Apr 15 22:36:59 AnonymizedComputerName pipewire[1235]: spa.v4l2: '/dev/video0' 
VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES: Unpassender IOCTL (I/O-Control) für das Gerät
Apr 15 22:36:59 AnonymizedComputerName pipewire-media-session[1236]: ms.core: 
error id:35 seq:256 res:-25 (Inappropriate ioctl for device): enum params id:3 
(Spa:Enum:ParamId:EnumFormat) failed
As the error concerns a multimedia-related piece of software (and as I have no 
mic-input at the moment for an unknown reason), I wonder what this error tells 
us?  Who has done what wrong and how?  By the way, as /dev/video0 is mentioned, 
the only way a video could be captured on my machine would be via a TV card. 
The TV card is connected to the antenna, and the TV tuner was not started on 
boot.
