Description
Hola,
I decided to forward this bug from Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/976534 in order to get more attention from the devs. Maybe someone on Launchpad is willing to help with debugging or so. In that case you have to ask them.
There's a very big and ugly memory leak somewhere in Rhythmbox in Ubuntu 12.04 in both 2.96 and 2.97 that I grabbed from webupd8.org ppa. In my case, just after five or so minutes of playing Rhythmbox memory consumption reaches 700 MB or so. Others have similar huge numbers. As I said, I suggest checking the report on LP out.
