So I was a happy user of the noise-cancelling pipewire plugin DeepFilterNet (link). Following the instructions in conf file (link) all was working on Fedora Kinoite 43.
However, upgrading to Fedora Kinoite 44 broke something, as my pipewire/wireplumbing crashes with the following error(s)
username@HX90:/var/home/username/.config/pipewire$ systemctl --user status wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse

I can confirm that the file is in the right location and does exist, but for some reason Kinoite 44’s pipewire cannot load it and is looking for it at the read-only location of the immutable atomic system. I wonder whether the .conf file needs updating, but have no clue what changed since. The pipewire manuals are not helpful unfortunately.
Any advice would be more than welcome, as noise-cancelling is crucial for videoconferencing.
