Bug Description
I usually leave Clementine running all the time in the background, playing music most of the time. After a week or so, clementine will still make animations with progress bars and changing playlist, but does not make any sound. I see these messages on stderr:
(clementine:27280): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_poll_
(clementine:27280): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_poll_free: assertion 'set != NULL' failed
The per-process limit on the number of open file descriptors has been reached.
ERROR: cannot create wakeup pipe

difficult to reproduce, since I must leave clementine running for many days to get this, but it's happened twice before; this was the first time I kept an xterm open to watch stderr.
Before you ask "why are you using ALSA instead of Pulseaudio?" I had to ditch pulseaudio because it would crash with clementine, and I would have to reboot both pulsed and clementine every three days, sometimes more often, and clementine wasn't the only program that would get pulsed wedged hard -- also happened with Chromium, VLC, totem, and even Audacity.
