I haven't had access to my dev computer for a few weeks so I couldn't
test that wily-proposed package yet. I would appreciate if someone else
did - the test case in the description is fairly easy to set up, IMO.

However, note that bug #1529445 is not the same thing as this bug - the
wily-proposed package won't fix this.

This bug is about a very specific fd leak introduced in ubuntu patches
to pidgin 2.10.11. In wily this should be fixed with the attached patch.
In xenial, by upgrading to 2.10.12 and removing those local gstreamer
1.0 patches.

The other bug is about completely different gstreamer fd leaks that in
rare situations may have the same effect with pidgin.

The gstreamer leaks are less frequent. The ones from this bug happen on
every sound that is played.
