Public bug reported:
The wireplumber service is experiencing repeated errors related to
handling ALSA audio nodes. The error occurs in the alsa.lua script when
attempting to process node names, suggesting a potential issue with ALSA
device detection or naming.
Steps to reproduce
1. Start the wireplumber service
2. Monitor service logs using: journalctl --user -b -u wireplumber
3. The error appears multiple times in the logs
Observed behavior
The service logs show repeated errors with the following pattern:
```
wplua: [string "alsa.lua"]:182: attempt to concatenate a nil value (local
'node_name')
stack traceback:
[string "alsa.lua"]:182: in function <[string "alsa.lua"]:175>
```
System Information
- Ubuntu Version: 24.10
- Wireplumber Version: 0.5.6
- Service Status: Running but with errors
