kmix high CPU usage

All of a sudden at startup kmix CPU usage spiked. Sometimes up to 70%.

After deleting the files in ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmix/profiles it's back to normal.

In the directory was a large (5MB) "PulseAudio.Playback_Streams.1.default.xml" file.

A forums entry at forums.opensuse.org pointed me to the file.

Searching online for that file will also bring up some Bugs reporting 100% CPU usage.
