Often causes pipewire to start constantly wasting 60% CPU for as long as any Bluetooth headset is connected, until easyeffects is killed/restarted

Describe the bug

The main symptom is a nearly constant extra CPU load, around 60%, in a pipewire process (observable via htop). It does not matter if any playback stream is active.

I could not yet determine what event, if any, triggers this.
After the problem has begun, it persists until easyeffects is killed (by means of easyeffects -q). This suggests that the issue may be in easyeffects, even though it's a pipewire process exhibiting the problem directly.

Everything still functions ± as normal, when this happens (maybe audio glitches a little bit more often than it normally would (which is almost never), I'm not sure yet).

If I disconnect all Bluetooth headsets and/or Bluetooth adapter, but do not kill easyeffects, then the extra CPU would stop, but only until a Bluetooth headset is connected again.
Restarting pipewire service(s) does not seem to have any effect.

In contrast, killing easyeffects would make the problem disappear completely for a while (even while using Bluetooth headsets).

Expected Behavior

No abnormal CPU usage

Debug Log

Debug Log

I will try to record it and update the issue, a little later

Additional Information

I'll try to share more details soon. Thought I'll post at least the description in case it rings a bell already with someone who knows.
Same issue was happening across multiple versions, and also on the previous Fedora release too (42).

7.2.5

Does the same thing happen with 8.1.2 ?

8.1.2 is only readily available from Flathub, I've just installed it, so far noticed no relevant issues but it's been very little time and few usage patterns. I'll keep checking and post later.
