Comment:
Thanks for the report.
Does this only happen with rhythmbox, or can it occur with other music players?
You might like to try to profile the memory usage of rhythmbox. Install the
'valgrind' package and run the following command from the terminal (all one
line):
valgrind --tool=massif --depth=5 --alloc-fn=g_malloc
--alloc-fn=g_realloc --alloc-fn=g_try_malloc --alloc-fn=g_malloc0
--alloc-fn=g_mem_chunk_alloc rhythmbox
Rhythmbox will be very slow, but let it run for a little while. When you close
rhythmbox, you should get a couple of files written to your current directory
(called massif something). Open the ps file for a nice graph of memory
allocation by the process over time. This *might* shed some light on the
problem, I don't know.
Also, I've reduced the severity until this can be confirmed.
Thanks again
