Bug 231025 – media-sound/audacious-1.4.6: Leaks X pixmaps when playing, becoming unusable over time

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Jacob 2008-07-07 06:40:18 UTC]

Audacious leaks X resources (pixmaps) when playing.  Eventually it becomes very slow to update (e.g. redraw upon switching to the desktop) and to change songs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Audacious
2. Start xrestop
3. Play music in Audacious while watching xrestop 

Actual Results:  
The Pxms number rises whenever Audacious is playing.  After some hours it's in the tens of thousands and Audacious is slow to display, skip songs, etc.

Expected Results:  
Doesn't leak resources and remains usable indefinitely.

Example:
xrestop output when Audacious is started, and then after playing a 3:49 song:

As far as I've noticed, this number never goes down.

Same process, after it's been playing for awhile.  At this point it takes almost a second for Audacious to redraw when I go to that desktop.

Try audacious-2.0.1, and reopen if it's still an issue.
