Public bug reported:

I guess this is not a bug directly in xfce4-volumed, but somewhere else, but so 
far I don't know yet what happens exactly. Every time when my system is idle 
for some time and the display goes into suspend mode, xfce4-volumed will start 
to take 100% cpu. Definitely not what I want from an idle system...

Hrm, somehow  /dev/snd/controlC1 was deleted, while the filedescriptor
was still open. What could be responsible for that?
