Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-media
A volume indicator pop-up (see screenshot) appears randomly and starts consuming additional cpu cycles as the cooling fan starts to turn faster. Also it sort of freezes the desktop, which means I cannot select any menu options or use the mouse / keyboard in open windows. It sort of freezes because after some tries I am able to click on windows and restart / log-off (in order to get out of the freeze). I use two soundcards. One internal and a USB soundcard. Maybe that has something to do with it. After removing the USB soundcard this behavior does not seem to occur.
