Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pulseaudio
After the recent Karmic updates ,pulseaudio doesnt always play sounds , when pulse audio is used , it starts to hog memory. and even when no active audio is playing the memory is consumed. At present it is using 15% [293.5 MiB] even after an X restart and with no audio playback. $ pulseaudio -k seems to be the only solution!
