Bug is still present on Fedora Linux 43.
Can confirm. This happens on my on my up-to-date Fedora 43, too. I tried switching back to Pulseaudio with "sudo dnf swap --allowerasing pipewire-pulseaudio pulseaudio", trying to investigate whether that helps with some of the audio problems I have while gaming (mostly popping noises). Can additionally confirm that applying the upstream patches that were kindly provided fixes the crashes for me, too.
