Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
This seems to be an interaction between KDE4.X's sound system, Firefox
playing flash audio, and Pidgin. In any case it's pidgin that shows the
leak (and eventually wigs out) so I'm filing under pidgin
Over time (less than 24 hours) the number of open pipes (and open wav
sounds) will grow to 1024, leading to pidgin becoming unable to log
conversations or open URLs. At that point I restart pidgin and
everything is fine.

Here are some of the wavs it has open file handles to:

This isn't consistent; not every sound played results in an open file. And, it
isn't necessarily associated with flash audio; overnight it grew from 29 to 76
wavs open, without pandora playing - but, I haven't seen the leak start until
I've been playing flash audio at the same time that pidgin is open.
