Here is an strace of this exact issue. It goes into an EAGAIN loop on read(3) at the end, when read(3) is some sort of socket.
As an added insult, pidgin immediately ran wild to 700MB memory usage before I could killall -9 it (it wasn't taking sigterm), as a reaction to me killing pulseaudio to try and see if that's the issue and I can work around it. /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart doesn't do squat. With pulseaudio DEAD, however, it fixes the issue. ** Attachment added: "strace of rhythmbox" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15806728/srhy -- rhythmbox freezes after playing for an hour or more and locks all sound until reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219848 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
