cause muted audio at boot or resume from suspend.
Fix a potential use-after-free in module-rt when stopping a thread.
Cached objects are now freed in the JACK API to avoid memory leaks.
Some more fixes and improvements.

PipeWire

RequestProcess commands are now only sent after the node completes
the state change to RUNNING.
More FreeBSD fixes.
Handle ACTIVE links going to < PAUSED as well. This improves
renegotiation in some cases.
Fix an fd mismatch in the protocol in some cases that could lead to
fd leaks and crashes.

Modules

Many of the network modules can now also accept hostnames instead of
IP addresses.

SPA

Support for elogind was added.
Some more errors are checked when converting JSON to POD. (#4313)
Fix a bug where the mixer was not updated after setting the port, which would

to handle the JACK semantics correctly. (#4314)
Buffers are now aligned according to the maximum CPU alignment instead of
the hardcoded 16 bytes alignment.
Cached objects are now freed correctly.
