Well, the reason pidgin is running out of file descriptors is because pipes to play sound files not being released after the sounds are played, so they end up accumulating until the limit is hit. Supposedly according to the guys on the pidgin bug forum, this problem is not of pidgin itself but of pulseaudio gstreamer... a problem which is supposedly fixed as of a more recent version. Only one way to find out I guess, someone needs to patch it and test this.
