One potential explanation: the fd leak made udev completely stop recognizing new hardware on a lot of systems (which was fixed in -6.1). So the fix might uncover another leak by adding/probing sound hw which previously didn't appear in udev (since it simply stopped working because of exceeding the 1024 fd limit)

For those of you who can reproduce this pulseaudio memleak (I can't), it would be interesting to compare an udev dump with both versions. Please install 147~6, do

  udevadm info --export-db > /tmp/udev.log

attach /tmp/udev.log here. Then upgrade to 147~-6.1, reboot, do the command again, and attach /tmp/udev.log again.

Thanks!
