arts 3.5.x series doesn't free all the memory it's using after playing a sound
file that uses the akode plugin such as ogg or mp3 files.  Since KDE uses ogg
files for sound notifications artsd's memory usage can increase quite a lot
after a few days of using KDE.

To quickly test this bug hold down backspace for a few seconds in Konsole. 
When all the sounds stop playing artsd's memory usage will be higher then it
was before.

Here is the KDE bug report: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118291

I have attached the patch which fixes this memory leak as well as patches for
the artsplugin-akode and kdemultimedia 3.5.2 ebuilds.

Matthew: I'm sure you meant another upstream bug.


herd: anyone still using aRts? I can apply and let our users test, but can't
myself.
