Every so often, I get endless notifications:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/463847/gnome-software-additional-multimedia-codecs-required-message-unclosable/615978#615978
The message is something like
'An application is requesting additional codecs'
and given how flickery the notification is in the icon bar's notification list, it's creating serveral such notifications per second.
Top shows 'kaccess' is very busy, and ps -axf shows
2715 ? Sl 3:51 \_ /usr/bin/kaccess
18856 ? R 0:00 | \_ /usr/bin/gstreamer-codec-install gstreamer|1.0|kaccess|Vorbis decoder|decoder-audio/x-vorbis
so I'm guessing that it's trying to alert about a notification by playing a Vorbis sound file for which is doesn't have the codec, so it's trying to load the codec, which means it needs to play a sound... for which it doesn't have the codec, etc.
1. ALL notifications should NAME THE PROGRAM and DATA involved: kaccess is requesting additional codecs to play /home/tim/sound/broken_audio_file.ogg'
2. Notifications should be RATE LIMITED, and/or have a 'dismiss this and identical notifications for 1 minute / 5 minutes / Forever
3. Fix whatever is causing the infinite loop, please.
