pipewire backend fails to play mp3 files

[AllKind]

• I have checked the FAQ for answers.
• I have checked the Changelog that the issue is not already fixed.
• I believe this issue is a bug, and not a general technical issue, question or feature requests that can be discussed on the forum.

Describe the bug
When the backend is set to pipewire, strawberry cannot play mp3 files (sending to Pulseaudio plays them just fine).
It may start to play, but soon fails by itself, or it seemed to me, when just moving up/down the playlist.
The error displayed is the shown in the picture I attach below in the Screenshot section.

If I start strawberry with gstreamer debug, it just crashes with below message.
I also attach the debug log.

This seem to be a similar issue to #1435 (comment), and I'm guessing the issue is related to the same pipewire bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/2240
Since the gstreamer pipewire plugin isn't mature yet and there are several known issues, you should be using alsa or pulseaudio: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/2240#note_1314702
