The detached helper thread that called pw_main_loop_quit() through a raw pointer cast to usize could outlive the mainloop if run() returned on its own (event loop error, panic in callback, etc.), causing use-after-free. Replace with an eventfd registered on the PipeWire loop via add_io(). The shutdown callback runs on the loop thread during mainloop.run(), where the mainloop is guaranteed alive. Drop order (reverse declaration) ensures the IO source is unregistered before mainloop is destroyed. Fixes: #1 (Critical UAF)
