Bug#707965: rhythmbox: Rhythmbox uses all available RAM

[Maxime Woringer]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 2.97-2.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When playing music with Rhythmbox for a while (a few hours), my system progressively gets unusable. It turned out that Rhythmbox is eating all the available memory (sometimes ~700MB).
This is very annoying and I cannot use Rhythmbox without almost freezing my system after a few hours.

Could you please tell me what kind of additional information I should provide?
For me, it looks like that bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/976534

Sorry for not getting more information...

Regards,
Maxime Woringer
