I saw this bug in 8.10 as well. After switching from one user to another my sound went completely haywire, blaring a beeping noise incessantly, so I killed all instances of pulseaudio. A little bit later, I noticed my machine slow to a crawl and that all 2 GB of RAM were in use. Top revealed pidgin to be the culprit.
