For what it's worth, if I reenable pulseaudio the problem goes away so far as I can tell. Removing indicator-sound-service also stops the leak (or slows it down enough to not be noticable by me). With pulseaudio not running, but indicator-sound-service and indicator-applet running, the latter two both chew up CPU and indicator-applet leaks memory. Maybe it's polling for volume or something, I don't know, but living without pulseaudio means no memory leak for me anymore plus less sound annoyance to put up with. Not a fix, but a workaround if you don't need it.
