I got a bit further. gstreamer1.0-pipewire was installed but for some reason gstreamer did not pick it up. Even after reinstalling, it still was not listed as a gstreamer plugin. I had to physically remove the libgstpipewire so, restart streamer and then put it back. After that gstreamder picks the plugin and this error "no element pipewiresrc" occurs no more.
However, recording still does not work properly The recording indicator appears, the file appears as well but has no content (0 size). journalctl log Mar 04 10:42:08 Development dbus-daemon[2781]: [session uid=1000 pid=2781] Activating service name='org.gnome.Shell.Screencast' requested by ':1.64' (uid=1000 pid=3358 comm="/usr/libexec/gsd-media-keys " label="unconfine> Mar 04 10:42:08 Development dbus-daemon[2781]: [session uid=1000 pid=2781] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.Shell.Screencast' Mar 04 10:42:36 Development dbus-daemon[2781]: [session uid=1000 pid=2781] Activating service name='org.gnome.Shell.Screencast' requested by ':1.64' (uid=1000 pid=3358 comm="/usr/libexec/gsd-media-keys " label="unconfine> Mar 04 10:42:36 Development dbus-daemon[2781]: [session uid=1000 pid=2781] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.Shell.Screencast' Mar 04 10:42:38 Development dbus-daemon[2781]: [session uid=1000 pid=2781] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Extract' unit='tracker-extract-3.service' requested by ':1.4' (uid=1000 pid=> Mar 04 10:42:38 Development systemd[2764]: Starting Tracker metadata extractor...
