Dear Maintainer,

When i upgraded to Debian 12 Bookworm, my bluetooth headphones suddenly were 
producing garbeled output in the kitchen 5m away from my PC. It used to work 
before nicely. I thought, that it could be an issue with the transmission 
signal strength and bought a bluetooth 5.4 USB dongle with two antennas for up 
to 150m range for testing, but even making sure that the 5.4 USB dongle's 
controller is used for USB connection, the situation did not change. THus i 
concluded, that it must be a problem either of the bluetooth driver or the 
pipewire sound system. Using A2DP audio profile on my bluetooth headphone 
WH-2037A the playback simply stops in the kitchen, with HSP/HFP profiles it 
seems the sample rate gets reduced and the sound gets garbeled and chopped up 
and also stops to play. This seems to be an issue with the codec interaction 
with the bluetooth driver maybe or generally a policy issue with the pipewire 
sound system. It seems as if pipewire enacts such changes of sample rate aso. 
on wrong information about the bluetooth connection quality. Maybe the 
bluetooth driver reports wrong data or the pipewire mixer policy is broken.
