No sound recorded due to missing "is-default" property

[flaphoschi]

Hello!

System: Lenovo ThinkPad X220 Distribution: Archlinux Compositor: Wayland and X11 with GNOME MUTTER Sound: pipewire + wireplumber

Kahoo fails silently to record any audio because it looks for a flag "is-default" which it cannot find:

$ kooha

2023-06-02T15:51:13.366052Z  WARN kooha::audio_device: Failed to find default name using gstreamer: Failed to find a default device

The message only appears when a recording is started.

GNOME-Settings looks fine

wpctl looks fine

Thank you for your work

Weird.

After logout, login and starting the program I wanted to record again it worked for one occasion. Maybe not 100% reproducible.

Did you ever find a fix?

Thanks for reporting!

I am closing this then.
