Yesterday I ran into a very very similar bug where totem started to spin 100%
CPU with uncontrolled VIRT growth. This happened immediately when I typed
"killall pulseaudio".

However, generally what happens when I play something in totem using
pulse-backend and then kill pulse is that totem GUI freezes with an empty error
messagebox (no CPU spin and no VIRT growth) so there is clearly some particular
condition which put be met for the "killall pulseaudio" to go into CPU spin
mode.

That said, I was able to get a lot of info out of gdb attached to totem when it
was spinning and that information was sufficient for wim to fix that bug.

My totem+pulse CPU spin was reported here:
