The problem is linked to a GStreamer function doing nonsense when some
devices are added or removed, so I'm adding GStreamer to the report,
hopefully people who know it better than I can bring input about what's
going on.

Hi, I have found a use-case for this bug that I can repeat every single

However, if I then unplug the webcam, both processes begin racing out of
control. I remo

Has anyone tried removing gnome-mixer to see if that is the cause of
this bug? I ask because Xubuntu does not install gnome-mixer by default.
It does use xfce4-mixer and xfce4-volumed. If gnome-mixer is causing the
issue, removing it should make the issue go away (as a WORKAROUND).

I am seeing 3 threads for the xfce4-volumed process, 2 of the threads

Thanks Charlie. This shows the problem is more likely to be in Gstreamer
than XFCE directly as it happens with two different components
(xfce4-mixer-plugin and xfce4-volumed).

This bug also affects me on Karmic and it's very easy to reproduce: I
have a USB headset connected to my machine and whenever I unplug the USB
headset xfce4-volumed (and xfce4-mixer-plugin) use up 100% CPU.
I hope to be able to do some debugging later on...

FWIW, I can confirm this bug on Xubuntu on Karmic. (never saw it before
I upgraded from Hardy). For me, it's after a suspend / resume cycle. I

option since I don't use the keyboard volume control anyway

Removing the package removed all the symptoms of the bug and didn't
introduce any further problems.
It was a very effective fix from my point of view.
I realise there's probably a more elegant fix, but I also realise we're
unlikely to see it any time soon.

Package libxcb-keysyms0-dev is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libxcb-keysyms1-dev
So I'll try using that instead...

In addition to the packages Steve pointed to, you of course also need
build-essential to be able to build packages in the first place.

Hello,
You can use the package source if you want, no worries. For some unknown

auto-complemented, but it does work, and it will build xfce4-volumed with
the -g option that will enable GDB to give us human-readable informatio
I went ahead and tried to use bzr to check it out, but couldn't see how
to pass the --enable-debug flag.
Should I be using bzr-buildpackage? What are the magic words?

Judging by the process' use of CPU time compared to the machine's
uptime, it seems that this wasn't a result of the machine being idle,
especially given that the process was frozen in gdb for some time before

responsible.
