Hmmm, keywords are bad.....

   I use Alsa, because in Pulseaudio passthrough does not work, at
   least here on my side. Pipewire does not work with Kodi 20 and it
   seems that there are enough troubles with Kodi 21 and Pipewire?!
   So, what else should i use than Alsa?

FYI.

1. Under pipewire + pipewire-pulseaudio, kodi crashes on startup.
  However, kodi --audio-backend=pulseaudio starts, but no sound.

2. Under pipewire + pulseaudio, kodi starts up but no sound.
  However, kodi --audio-backend=pulseaudio make sounds.
  kodi is playing sound via pipewire. It is not unreasonable to assume
  that pipewire is functioning properly.
  
Anyway, I think you should file a bug report upstream immediately?

Best Regards & Good Night.
