I have also noticed this behaviour just now also while using music-
applet with rhythmbox. On my Ubuntu 8.10 system it was also a python
process that was taking up lots of CPU (~60%). I removed music-applet
from my panel and re-added it again and CPU activity went back to
normal.
I ran strace on the python process and got a whole load of this:
$ strace -p 6317
Process 6317 attached - interrupt to quit
