Hmm, I still don't know how to figure out which backend is being used. I've used xfce4-settings-editor, and the list of channels includes: displays, keyboard-layout, keyboards, thunar, thunar-volman, xfce4-{desktop,keyboard-shortcuts,mixer,panel,power-manager,session,settings-editor,settings-manager}, xfwm4, xsettings On my Debian system, I can't find anything approximating xvd. I'm not clear how I select the backend for xfce4-volumed{,-pulse} :(
I do know that I have pulseaudio running with xfce4-volumed on my vanilla xfce4-volumed: redfield:~ $ ps aux | grep pulse jdg 9925 0.0 0.0 10708 872 pts/2 S+ 14:14 0:00 grep pulse jdg 24918 0.0 0.0 377880 3964 ? S<l Apr30 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog But that may not necessarily mean that it's the direct backend: xfce4-volumed is linked to libgstreamer, which has a pulseaudio backend, so it may be that connection which is leaking memory, perhaps? Anyway, I'm going to uninstall xfce4-volumed and replace it with xfce4 -volumed-pulse, and leave that running for a few days. I won't be back in my office until next Tuesday, so I won't be able to give the results of this experiment until then. Thanks!
