[Impact]
Large memory leak in Rhythmbox that manifests itself primarily when changing tracks. The leak for changing through 50 tracks is around 17MB. More tracks = more leaks. This bug hits memory constrained platforms especially hard, but all users should be able to listen to music for an afternoon without running out of memory.
[Test Case]
I loaded 50 random MP3 tracks from my collection onto a clean system. Some had album art, some did not. Lengths varied from 1 min to 20 mins, most were 3-4 mins long. I started watching rhythmbox with smem, updating every 10 seconds. I then started ryhthmbox and began playing audio. I did two test cases then:
1) I let each track play for 1-2 seconds and then skipped to the next track. The original precise version 2.96-0ubuntu4.2 leaks heavily as the tracks cycle:
foo@localhost:~$ while true; do smem -H -P ^rhythmbox; sleep 10; done
779 mfisch rhythmbox 0 25568 27387 37380
779 mfisch rhythmbox 0 32632 34726 45428
779 mfisch rhythmbox 0 33564 35664 46372
779 mfisch rhythmbox 0 35132 37194 47864
779 mfisch rhythmbox 0 36664 38726 49396
779 mfisch rhythmbox 0 38180 40272 50972
779 mfisch rhythmbox 0 40020 42108 52804
779 mfisch rhythmbox 0 41204 43304 54012
779 mfisch rhythmbox 0 41220 43300 53988
779 mfisch rhythmbox 0 41244 43343 54052
779 mfisch rhythmbox 0 42340 44444 55160
779 mfisch rhythmbox 0 50288 52391 63120
2) Another way was just to load the tracks and let them play. I watched this one for over 90 minutes. It still leaks, just more slowly, especially when it gets into some of the longer tracks.

[Regression Potential]
The potential here is that Rhythmbox will not work correctly and may crash. Freeing memory that is actually needed later will result in a segfault. If this happened users would experience crashes when playing music. However, I feel this risk is mitigated via testing and the fact that this code has been used upstream for over a year now. I did check the gir library because I was concerned that a breakage may affect other pieces, but it appears that only rhythmbox itself and plugins uses it.
[Explanation of Fix]
I cherry picked commits from June of 2012 from Rhythmbox's git tree to build the patch. These commits are already in use in Q and R. The commits I pulled are from the 2 upstream gnome bugs:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677738
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678208
After examining these commits, I found that 7ea940f doesn't apply, the file it patches doesn't exist in this version. Also commit 5b281f5 was
superceded by 7cdf4cd. This leaves the following commits in the patch: 0c5a47c 7cdf4cd fc1e8ca 3dec1ff ad8ab01 96aa2cd 5b281f5 195c2a7 8999cca
I then built a copy of rhythmbox and installed it. Here are the results from running Test 1 from above with the patch applied, as you can see the mem leak is corrected:
ufa@localhost:~$ while true; do smem -H -P ^rhythmbox; sleep 10; done
806 ufa rhythmbox 0 25188 27072 36836
