   this only fixes gnome control center, not gnome-shell which ships its   
   own copy of libgvc or one of its library does).    
   libgvc is copied into project source directory, it is not a dynamically   
   loaded library.   
      
   Every project including libgvc has to upgraded its copy.   
      
   I believe upstream (both GNOME and wireplumber) concluded this is a   
   libgvc bug. Thus this bug about gnome-shell should be reassigned to   
   gnome-shell (I could do that on my side if need be) and cloned to every   
   project in Debian including libgvc (that list I don't know so I cannot   
   do this clone).   
   These bugs should be kept opened until a fixed copy is including in   
   Debian.   
      
   For gnome control center we can already conclude that forky and sid are   
   fixed as they ship 49.4-1.   
      
   It seems gnome-shell is fixed in forky (49.3-2) and sid (49.3-3) as:   
   gnome-shell (49.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium   
      
     * Team upload   
     * d/patches/libgvc: Update libgvc to prevent crashes with newer   
   Pipewire.   
       This updates it to 47c47a42 (2026-01-23) which is the latest   
   version,   
       and the version currently used in gnome-shell's main branch.   
       (Closes: #1126514)   
     * d/watch: Convert to v5 format   
     * Update Lintian overrides
