gnome calls: outbound calls only work if its the fisrt call the app has made since start. gsd media keys: can't get default sink/source

[budgie-dev]

Device info (please complete the following information)

• Device: PinePhone
• Kernel Version : 6.11.0-1-megi-danctnix
• UI: Phosh

Describe the bug
Switched to pulseaudio since nothing worked on pipewire. Now calls are only partially working. Only the first outbound call since pkill gnome-calls && gnome-calls works normally. all of the calls give gsd-media-keys errors

While behavior like this could be easily fixed with a script that restarts gnome calls when a call ends (and thats what im probably going to do now), I would still like to fix this since this is a pretty big bother to me.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Flash the system with the newest xz image.
2. No outbound calls work on pipewire, switch to pulseaudio/
3. Now only the first outbound call since opening gnome-calls works

Expected behavior
I should be able to call people

Before submitting a bug report, please be sure that you have done the following:

• [*] I have checked for updates (pacman -Syu) and installed the updates but the problem persisted.
• [*] I am not using Megi's multiboot image, which is unsupported by the developer.

[budgie-dev]

fixed it partially by adding a custom phone app launcher in phosh:
kill -f '/usr/bin/sh /home/alarm/scripts/calls.sh'
pkill 'gnome-calls %u'
pkill gnome-calls
gnome-calls %u

It sort of works, but for some reason, if you dont enter the number you want to call in around 10 seconds, the error persists.

"No outbound calls work on pipewire, switch to pulseaudio"
When I took the lastest image and flashed my PinePhonePro, I needed to install "pipewire-alsa" to get the headset speaker and mic to work.
sudo pacman -S pipewire-alsa
