Pipewire/wireplumber 'node.stream.default-media-role' does not exist

I'm getting the journal flooded with the following warning:

 wireplumber[1178]: wp-settings: Setting 'node.stream.default-media-role' does not exist in the settings schema

Haven't found so far how to solve this. If anyone does, thanks!!

Re: Pipewire/wireplumber 'node.stream.default-media-role' does not exist

Ok, I found the culprit.

It's in the create-item.lua file in /usr/share/wireplumber/scripts/node/ directory.
The file doesn't seem to have been updated since 2021, but it does get installed with the latest wireplumber. (I deleted the file and reinstalled wireplumber just to be sure.)

So, I doubt I'm the only one running with this journal flooding, unless nobody uses wireplumber. Let me know if you saw that too!
(And the fix for now is to comment out lines 47-51:

local default_role = Settings.get ("node.stream.default-media-role")
...

Hi, a long while passed since you last post. I've been struggling with this warning flood by about two years, and finally tired do deal with it.
I have copied whole "node.stream.default-media-role" section from "/usr/share/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf" into "/etc/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf", right after default-capture-volume section.

Try to do the same, I think it's a better way than commenting some script code in a stock config directory.

(PS: when I restart wireplumber user unit I get some similar warnings, but this time about e.g. "node.features.audio.mono" setting; didn't tried already if doing the same with them would stop these warnings)
