Hello Javier,
your thought might go into the right direction. I found out that non-audio bluetooth devices don’t show this problem. A Wacom BT Tablet and a Steam Controller both are shown as connected when they indeed are. So when only BT audio devices are affected, there may be some pipewire stuff involved here.
While I read through the two documentations you provided, I don’t see anything that might be involved with this problem, but either way there could be some pipewire bug in the latest update causing this. Please note that this all worked fine before, this is new behavior in an old setup.
Here’s the output you suggested:
