Public bug reported:
I was listening to a web radio with mplayer. I had directed the sound
output with pavucontrol to another PC (direct connection, not via RTP).
I then started to play a song with amarok (Version 2.5 with phonon-
backend-gstreamer) over the internal sound card. Everything was fine
until I switched amarok's output to the other PC (via pavuntrol). All
sound stopped immediately and the system began to swap. I saw pulseaudio
consume ~70% of my memory (of 4 GB). Killing pulseaudio made the system
responsive again.
