Spotify opens too many connections to PulseAudio (Linux)

Spotify opens too many connections to PulseAudio (Linux)

After some time Spotify for Linux starts to use too many connections to PulseAudio. This makes it impossible to use any sound on the computer.

 

This shows an output after one day of usage:

Spotify version 1.0.36.120.g536a862f, Copyright (c) 2016, Spotify Ltd

i have seen this happening regardless of mobile phone use, and starting Spotify with --no-zygote. the phone can be off for hours, as has mine, so Spotify is not being used/opened there. and from time to time, when checking audio mixer, additional Spotify processes will exist.

 

(edit: this is still an issue, after updating to 1:1.2.8.923.g4f94bf0d)

this is still an issue on version 1:1.2.11.916.geb595a67.
