Bug Description

Binary package hint: gaim

Gaim goes to 100% cpu when using Sound with LTSP 5 (Pulseaudio). Usually happens as SOON as you type a message.

AFter disabling sound, the CPU does not go 100% but something else happens. VIRT memory size of all gaim processes Jumps to ridiculous levels (1000mb+) For example, here is my process entry from top:

17717 fkhan 15 0 1094m 40m 18m S 0 2.0 0:14.58 gaim

1094M !!!! Why?

Also- The 100% usually not repeatable with all user names to the server. It starts happening with some of them - but if left for a while it happens to ALL of them.

running gaim -d (debug mode) shows the following:

GStreamer: could not connect to esounddaemon

the VIRT memory going up happens to all users.

Sorry but I keep forgetting. The VIRT memory issue started happening after we un-installed pulseaudio and are running with gnome sound OFF and SOUND=N in lts.conf

If I enable sound then the 100% cpu deal starts happening.
