PA-DLNA shuts off connection to DLNA Renderer upon start playing music (vlc)

Bug report.

I have pipewire and all requirements started. pa-dlna is installed, starts, and finds my rendering device. As soon as I start playback, pa-dlna/the renderer cut connection.

Your environment.

  • Pulseaudio version: -
  • Pipewire version: 1.2.5
  • pa-dlna version: 0.11
  • DLNA device name: Moode UPNP - 58120
  • Selected encoder: (not sure, log included)
  • Network type (wired, wifi): Wired

Steps to reproduce.

Start pa-dlna, start vlc, select song, select output to pa-dlna, play

Relevant logs or configuration.
