Have a look at the article Here... http://kb.mozillazine.org/Reducing_memo ... _-_Firefox

Have you tried Safe Mode ??

The same troubleshooting techniques for Firefox should be valid, as Songbird is based on Firefox...

Some of the elements that you may have installed, like Shoutcast, could be eating CPU, or it could be the Modifications to the Firefox code that could be causing it....

Just reinstalled my whole system, redownloaded SB and now it crashes everytime I try to play anything. Hmm.

Have you tried a new Profile ?? Where have you installed it to ? I put my copy in /opt

Also remember that Songbird is using GStreamer... Check that you have all the codecs and thingies Installed...
You may find that the Medibuntu packages may be helpful... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
(Remember to check that you can actually use all the elements in your Location before Installing them)

I fixed it. I complety removed pulse from my system and had sound set to ALSA in the sound panel. Set to Autodetect and all is good now. =) Songbird rocks again!

Good show.... Sound can be a tricky beastie... It is very easy to mess it up totally....

Remember Pulse is still relatively new so it is likely to give people a few headaches, if the drivers don't work as well as they should..
It works fine for me, but you may be using something different to my Intel Sound card....
