Dear package maintainers -- please be our heroes and fix this :)

Memory leaks were fixed in Rhythmbox 2.97 and 2.98 as noted in #976534.
I'm currently running RB 2.97 from ubuntuupdates.org and it works
without leaks.

This was my result before:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
28905 username  20   0 1978m 1.4g  15m S   39 35.4  33:44.59 rhythmbox          
                                                                             

This is my result using the webupd8team PPA:

10545 username  20   0  550m 103m  20m S    4  2.6  52:17.58 rhythmbox

As you can see, even after running for almost twice as long, it uses
only 2.6% memory, and before it was sipping some 35%.

The following upstream report mentions a lot of commits with memory leak
fixes -- perhaps they could be targeted for backporting.
