fdmemory: sometimes fails to map buffer from pipewiresrc resulting in "invalid video buffer received" errors/warnings

Recently, the Cheese Camera App started showing some very weird behavior. I was not sure if I should report it in Cheese directly, but I instead decided to do it here, since the output told me to do so:

Behavior

The camera buffer in the middle of the screen flickers and if it shows an actual image, it switches between an image that comes from the moment, when I started the program, and another one that was probably taken 1-2 seconds ago.

If you need it, I can send you a video capture of this issue.

Logs

The "normal" output looks like this:
