I am unable to get audio playback from spotify-player on a Raspberry Pi when using a Bluetooth speaker (LAMAX Sounder2) as the output device. The player runs, and I can select the device, but no sound is heard.

Steps to reproduce:
Install spotify-player from source on Raspberry Pi OS.
Pair and connect a Bluetooth speaker using A2DP.
Verify the device is listed in PipeWire:

State: RUNNING
Name: bluez_output.F4_4E_FD_73_B1_D5.1
Description: LAMAX Sounder2
Driver: PipeWire
Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 48000Hz
Channel Map: front-left,front-right
Owner Module: 4294967295
Mute: no

Please investigate and support audio playback to Bluetooth devices on Raspberry Pi.
