Comment:

 Just found another app that freezes because of media_addon_server.

 Vision froze when someone typed my nick and stayed that way for about
 10-20 seconds.  I finally thought to use ProcessController to kill
 media_addon_server.  The instant I killed media-addon-server, Vision was
 responsive again.  I then restarted the MediaServices via the Media pref.

 I did not think to get KDL traces before I killed media-addon-server.  I
 think the server does not properly initialize on bootup and it is not
 until a sound is played that it is noticed that the server is not working.
 ticket:7268 deals with that issue, and is most likely related to this.  It
 seems that if media-addon-server is not working properly, any app that has
 a sound event will probably freeze when that event is triggered.

 I'm attaching my syslog, even though it seems to me, to only have caught
 MediaServices being restarted after the addon was killed.

 I will attempt to recreate and get kdl traces soon.
