Bug: Audio Stutter with Pipewire (Linux) #2414

Description

@Darkbloodking00

Describe the bug

Portal 2 Community Edition's audio stutters constantly. People encountered similar issues in Team Fortress 2 and Team Fortress 2 Classified in which issues could be solved with an additional flag as:"STEAM_COMPAT_RUNTIME_SDL2=classic %command%" but with/without flags nothing changes for Portal 2 Community Edition. Only way I was able to solve the problem was to use proton instead of playing the game natively on Linux. Tried both the default public version and the stable version but problem still occurs with the native versions regardless.

Without flags:
