[LAU] Help finding a forum for PipeWire?

Hello, all,

I tried to replace my audio stack on my everyday, all-purpose Linux 
Ubuntu 18.04 desktop with PipeWire. Overall, it went smoothly, with one 
exception. So far, I've mainly used it to listen to audio from Firefox, 
from YouTube videos, etc. Every time I perform an action on the YouTube 
video (start or stop the video, move the timeline back and forth, change 
the playback speed, etc.), the Sound control panel either shows a new 
Firefox source, under the Applications tab, with the volume set to zero, 
or the existing Firefox source is slid to zero. Before I can hear 
anything, I have to bring up the Sound control panel and slide the 
control up.

I know this isn't a PipeWire support forum, but I haven't been able to 
find one for PipeWire under Linux or Ubuntu. Does anyone know of a 
support or user's forum where I could ask this question? Where would you 
go to ask this question?

Thanks for your help and advice.

-Kevin
