Given that you have Realtek hardware, perhaps this patch from the upstream 3.4 kernel will fix the problem: author Jesper Juhl Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:11:25 + (22:11 +0200) committer Takashi Iwai Fri, 13 Apr 2012 05:35:57 + (07:35 +0200) commit 7d7eb9ea314e992413620610b4d09c9cd5fa8959 tree159a2cc18ad80868af18d7a0675a940c457e1536 parent 29ebe40284c75a5888c601872059fca7e258528d ALSA: hda/realtek - Fix mem leak (and rid us of trailing whitespace). In sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c::alc_auto_fill_dac_nids(), in the 'for (;;)' loop, if the 'badness' value returned from fill_and_eval_dacs() is negative, then we'll return from the function without freeing the memory we allocated for 'best_cfg', thus leaking. Fix the leak by kfree()'ing the memory when badness is negative. While I was there I also noticed some trailing whitespace in the function that I removed (along with all other trailing whitespace in the file) - it didn't seem worth-while to do that as two patches, so I hope it's OK that I just did it all as one patch. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai The upcoming Ubuntu 12.10 "Qantal Quetzal" is based on the upstream 3.5 kernel and thus should include this patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728901 Title: pulseaudio gradually using more memory, maybe leaking To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/728901/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
