Bug Description

Using a Google Hangout, from Firefox, or Chromium. FF Uses GoogleTalk Plugin, Chromium uses its own embedded version.

 After about 4 or 5 minutes during which time the system load slowly creeps up, the Video becomes Choppy, and the Audio broken.
Switching off the Camera, helps eleviate the problem, but only in the sense that it slows the creeping system load progression down.

Eventually the audio becomes unusable, and I have to drop the Hangout.

Hopefully he system report from apport-bug will shows that I am using the Intel Grphics drivers, and these did have some issues with on the early plasma 5 tech preview version.

I also grabbed a few lsof files from the GoogleTalk plugin as the Hangout progressed. At this point I am a little unsure how to progress the debug process further

I am sorry, I picked 3 times from the bug catagories, I tried Kubuntu-Plasma-desktop, Kubuntu-Desktop. Which launhpad appeared to accept. Yet it still registered this in the ubuntu-release-upgrader.

When I invoked apport-bug, I even specified that this problem was a sound/audio related problem

I have the feeling thiis hould really be moved to the Kubuntu-Desktop, as I think this problem is race or locking condition between GoogleTalk and Plasmashell.

Any help pointing me to next steps int he debug process would be appreciated
