Description of problem: When you stop/restart the sound server during rhythmbox playback, rhythmbox consumes excessive amount of memory and loads CPU heavily. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhythmbox-0.11.2-7.fc8 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select ESD output in system-config-sound 2. Run rhythmbox and start playback 3. # pkill esd; pkill pulseaudio Additional info: I haven't reasearched whether it is rhythmbox who is to blame for this or some underlying library. However, this has to be dealt with as pulseaudio in F8 is pretty sucky and crashes often :}
esd output removed from gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.6-6
