I've occasionally come across that. It's either jammed on some media file it doesn't like, or dead looped when it's been asked to play files on repeat, and it can't load the file. It excessively tries to access a non-existent file, instead of quitting. I wonder whether it uses repackaged/wrapped windows codecs for some files, and they're just a crap codec. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-957.21.3.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 18 16:35:19 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
