Yes

Reproduction steps

Note: Sorry for the stream quality, it's all I have available. We've been trying to track down whats going wrong with pixel 10s across production drm'd live events and it's been tough to figure out given the ephemeral nature of them. This sample stream has significant audio/visual drift and long periods of slate.
