[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#901083: lxmusic: something causes system to go OOM

[Matt Taggart]

Package: lxmusic
Version: 0.4.7-1

Up front I apologize that this bug report is vague and mostly anecdotal.
Maybe I will have more luck tracking it down later or maybe others will.

I discovered that if I have lxmusic running and also do video/audio a
lot in my browser, the system will go OOM and become totally
unresponsive for 10-15mins until the OOM killer manages to kill the
right things.

I'm not sure if the bug is in lxmusic or if it's just tickling a bug in
pulseaudio or the particular drivers for my system or what. I just know
that if I don't run lxmusic then the problem doesn't happen.

To repeat the problem: have lxmusic running, audio paused, and then
watch a bunch of youtube videos in chromium.

I hope to have time to try narrowing down the problem, but as this is my
main work desktop that is fairly disruptive.

In case it matters, my audio devices are:
00:03.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen
Core Processor HD Audio Controller [8086:0c0c] (rev 06)
00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series
Chipset High Definition Audio Controller [8086:8c20] (rev 04)
