Comment 15 for bug 183411

I was able to reproduce the nautilus file descriptor leak problem using libesd-alsa0/esound-common 0.2.38-0ubuntu4 in gutsy. I can confirm that the packages in gutsy-proposed, libesd-alsa0/esound-common 0.2.38-0ubuntu4.1, addresses the issue; nautilus no longer leaks file descriptors. I was also able to continue playing audio from rhythmbox, totem, and firefox/flash-nonfree, as well as the audio component of videos. I also installed esd, restarted the desktop, and verified that esd was running and that sound still worked.

Thanks!
