This is related to bug #125739 (mpg123 and mpg321 won't play audio
preview in Nautilus (Gutsy)). Nautilus opens a FIFO when you hover over
an audio (.ogg / .mp3) file, but doesn't close it because esound isn't
installed on gutsy anymore.

To work around this bug you can either disable audio previews or install
pulseaudio-esound-compat (and mpg321, sox and vorbis-tools if you want
nautilus to actually play sound).

You can continually monitor the number of FIFOs nautilus has opened with the 
following command:
while /bin/true; do clear; lsof -c nautilus|awk '{ print $5; }'|sort|uniq 
-c|grep FIFO; sleep 1; done
