Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 13.10 x64

When nobody is logged in on console, but pulseaudio and mpd are running,
indicator-sound uses 50-70% of CPU. This is bad for power consumption
and also bad for background jobs running in a vnc4server session.

15215 lightdm   20   0  363m 4452 3440 R  68.8  0.1   0:20.62 indicator-sound

15130 lightdm   20   0  834m  39m  26m S  15.3  1.1   0:05.99 unity-greeter

If I uninstall indicator-sound, then pulseaudio doesn't show up in top
either.
