Description Dave Gilbert 2009-03-01 14:35:55 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start rhythmbox playing, check the number of threads in /proc/<pid>/task and /proc/<pid>/fd (on Linux)
2. let it play a few songs
3. look at task and fd again and see it has grown
4. Eventually it will fall over between songs because it can't open the new fd


Stack trace:
Haven't got a trace - in the full case you have 500 threads so it's a bit massive.
There are quite a few threads left in:

but I'm not sure if these are the ones that are being leaked.
If this is the case it could be a pulse audio problem????

Other information:
This is on Ubuntu Intrepid, the Rhythmbox is '0.11.6svn20081008-0ubuntu4.3'; I take it that's the date of the svn checkout.

I've confirmed with someone else that they are also seeing it.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/296375/ is an ubuntu bug
for this, and I'm going to link this bug to it.
Ubuntu uses Pulse
