I've recently upgraded to F36 - everything is great, except Rhythmbox will randomly fail to play MP3's that used to work. If I try a few times, it will play the files, so it's not like the files were corrupted.
Audio works fine in Firefox.
I'm not sure what component is causing the problem. Some packages that I think are relevant:
$ rpm -qa | egrep rhythmbox\|pipewire
pipewire-0.3.59-3.fc36.x86_64
pipewire-libs-0.3.59-3.fc36.x86_64
pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit-0.3.59-3.fc36.x86_64
pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.59-3.fc36.x86_64
pipewire-gstreamer-0.3.59-3.fc36.x86_64
rhythmbox-3.4.6-1.fc36.x86_64
pipewire-utils-0.3.59-3.fc36.x86_64
pipewire-alsa-0.3.59-3.fc36.x86_64
pipewire-codec-aptx-0.3.59-1.fc36.x86_64
pipewire0.2-libs-0.2.7-7.fc36.x86_64
A snip from rhythmbox -d:

At the same time (08:01:51), I see an issue in the pipewire logs:
