Comment 38 for bug 424655

I seem to have a milder version of this. I'll attach an htop screenshot showing pulseaudio to use about 2 gigs overall and 1 gig resident memory after about three and a half days uptime. It's usually half that much after a day I'd say, whether I use audio or not. Perhaps this is a different issue but I've found no other bug report on this so far. Is there an upstream report BTW or is this thought to be caused by Ubuntu-specific patches?

I'll post the PA stats corresponding to the htop output below. I resist having run PA in valgrind for a significant amount of time as this might be required since the leak doesn't seem as large for me as for many others. I'll do it though if required but the other valgrind logs don't seem to have done any good so far so please let me know.
