All pulse clients get stuck for ~1s on all seeking
My node configuration is shown at pipewire#698 (closed) except that now both, built-in and USB, devices get connected to processing pipeline (for some reason, USB one is on top of the graph with pipewire-media-session but with WP it's the other way around).
If I use WP instead of PMS all pulse apps (and only them, it seems) "wait" for about a second on each seek back, forward or start after a long pause. This is likely connected to #67 (closed)
