Since I upgraded to 0.3.21, the sound skips continuously. I'm on Manjaro with a Pinebook Pro. I do see XRUNs in the journal, which did not occur with 0.3.20:

and on and on...

I also see this message, which is also new since 0.3.21:

fév 11 12:26:31 jouet pipewire-pulse[1559]: Failed to mlock memory 0xffffabb53000 32816: This is not a problem but for best performance, consider increasing RLIMIT_MEMLOCK

Manjaro (or rather ALARM in this case) sets that limit to 131072, but I haven't checked if this is new with their 0.3.21 package.

I'm running kernel 5.10.15. Reading other issues, I try fiddling with default.quantum, api.alsa.period_size and headroom without success (or most likely without finding the right values to use...).

Any idea what changed in 0.3.21 that broke the rockchipes8316c?
