[Pulseaudio + Pidgin 2.4.*] Whole ram+Swap is used

[goto]

Binary package hint: libpulse0

Pidgin allocates the whole swap+ram after some time.

The problem can be solved to choose ALSA as audio output in Pidgins settings.

So I presume a bug in pulseaudio.

I at first opened a ticket in pidgins bugtracker:
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5758

All necessary output files can be obtained there.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release Karmic Koala. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
