Issue/Bug Description: For me this issue presented itself after updating Pop packages. I use ALVR to connect to my VR headset; this program (I believe) uses a Pipewire virtual device to stream to the headset. This no longer works for myself or others using Pop. The program will produce an error and will not function unless a custom workaround is used.

https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/issues/1976

aplay also gives an error when specifying a Pipewire device https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/3830

Steps to reproduce (if you know): $ aplay -D pipewire ~/Downloads/sound.mp3

aplay: main:831: audio open error: Operation not supported

Expected behavior: Alsa to play audio after specifying Pipewire device

ALVR, other programs to interface correctly with Pipewire

Other Notes:

Pipewire apparently been patched to fix this issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/commit/1e763b928f3cbf1a479974b6833706cc7b2e66d4
