- Fix AudioBackend destructor: properly lock the PA mainloop before disconnecting the context to prevent race conditions with PA callbacks - Fix context leak on reconnect: call pa_context_unref() when the old context is replaced after PA_CONTEXT_FAILED to avoid resource leaks - Fix PA mainloop killed on reconnect (critical): PA_CONTEXT_TERMINATED was unconditionally calling quit() on the mainloop, even during reconnection when the old context fires TERMINATED after the new one was created. This was killing the new context and preventing successful reconnection, causing Waybar to appear frozen. The fix only quits the mainloop when the terminating context is still the active one. - Fix Wireplumber use-after-free: explicitly disconnect GObject signal handlers for mixer_api_, def_nodes_api_, and om_ before clearing the object references in the destructor to prevent callbacks from firing with a destroyed self pointer. - Fix GVariant memory leak in Wireplumber::handleScroll: unref the GVariant created for the set-volume signal after the emit call.
