Description Kevin Degeling 2021-06-06 10:00:21 UTC 
Description of problem:

Latest version of Pipewire, (0.3.29) breaks support for Pulse Effects, likely because of a missing plugin, which was included with previous version.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pipewire-0.3.29

How reproducible:

I updated pipewire and all it's related components from 0.3.28 to 0.3.29. Reverting this update, or holding off on it, should ensure that Pulse Effects stays functional.

Upstream ticket:

https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects/issues/886
Comment 1 klaussemmler 2021-06-06 15:39:11 UTC 
I can confirm this issue. Pulseeffects is crashing with the same message on my system.
Comment 2 Giuseppe Argentieri 2021-06-06 19:12:44 UTC 
I also have the same issue. 

According one of the authors of pulseeffects, this should be the output of

gst-inspect-1.0 | grep -i pipewire

pipewire:  pipewiresrc: PipeWire source
pipewire:  pipewiresink: PipeWire sink
pipewire:  pipewiredeviceprovider (GstDeviceProviderFactory)

https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects/issues/886#issuecomment-855431898

To me, it's empty.
Comment 3 bugzilla 2021-06-06 19:56:10 UTC 
Also having precisely this error on Fedora 34.

@joe.silver , I can confirm that my output when running gst-inspect-1.0 | grep -i pipewire is also empty, and the command returns 1.

I've got `pipewire-gstreamer`, however this unfortunately does not resolve the issue.
Comment 4 Sara Cavallari 2021-06-07 13:05:31 UTC 
Same problem here (F34, updated to pipewire 0.3.29)
I tried to debug the issue

$ rm -rf ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0
$ GST_DEBUG=4 gst-inspect-1.0 pipewiresrc 2>&1 | grep libgstpipewire
0:00:02.215185263 136609 0x55dcc2dcf000 WARN      GST_PLUGIN_LOADING gstplugin.c:491:gst_plugin_register_func: plugin "/usr/lib64/gstreamer-1.0/libgstpipewire.so" has incompatible version (plugin: 1.19, gst: 1.18), not loading

So as you can see, incompatible gstreamer/plugin version.

I checked for a new version in updates-testing, there is 1.19

So I run:

dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing gstreamer1\*

and now pulseffects works again.
Comment 5 Wim Taymans 2021-06-07 13:14:27 UTC 
> dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing gstreamer1\*

right.. 

The update is pending here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-b799a5ca66
but the pipewire build got pushed to stable quickly because more people vote and test it.

2 more karma votes and the GStreamer update will go through as well and this issue will be
no more...so... go and vote!
