Error when trying to use PulseAudio's null sink as input/output device

[heather7283]

Describe the bug

Real time conversion in a GUI doesn't work when I'm trying to use PulseAudio's null sinks as input or output devices. The only configuration that works for me is when both input and output devices are set to "default (ALSA)". My OS is Arch Linux and I'm using pipewire.

To Reproduce

0. Have a Linux machine with pipewire installed
1. Create new null sink with pactl load-module module-null-sink media.class=Audio/Sink sink_name=VirtualAudioDevice1 channel_map=stereo rate=48000 format=s32le
2. Run svcg, select model and config files
3. Select "VirtualAudioDevice1" as output device
4. Click "(Re)Start Voice Changer"
5. Get one of the following errors: sounddevice.PortAudioError: Error opening Stream: Illegal combination of I/O [PaErrorCode -9993] sounddevice.PortAudioError: Error opening Stream: Invalid sample rate [PaErrorCode -9997]
