Mediaserver and audiout - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently I had some process called Mediaserver eating more battery than the screen. I fixed this by uninstalling music and removing all of my songs (lousy solution btw) but now BBS states that there is a wakelock called audio out eating all my battery which is just really weird.
Anyone have solutions for this?

How can I get rid of or lessen the AudioOut_2 wakeclock?

Anybody know a fix for this? Or is it a required wakeclock whilst playing music?

Was just wondering if it is normal to have the media server with that keep awake and is this a wake lock?

Or maybe it's the 3g connection.
You have a corrupted media file somewhere in your storage. Find it and delete it.

I only opened the 3g for the Xda app..do you think it might be because i left real racing 3 on the background? If its a corrupted file hire do i find it?

How to kill media server battery drain

For the longest I've had this Media Server issue that would drain my battery by 35% or more and I think I may have figured out how to kill this S.O.B. Go to Settings>under account select Google>click on account> then where it says Google Play Music let it sync once then unselect it.. Haven't seen in since..
Update: Also received this from user: @xdafoundingmember seems to have killed it completely. Thank you sir https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rrr.android.mediaserverkiller

got it!!
OK, so mediaserver was killing my battery too. I did some digging with the digging being geared towards media and serving information. Turns out, for me anyway, that the Google play store was using twice the amount if background data as it was foreground data so, I checked the box to restrict background data and vioala!!!! Mediaserver went from using over forty percent to, now, 3 percent. I've been on battery all day from 8am, it's eleven now and I'm at 81 percent writing this.
I had mediaserver killer set to kill on screen on and I had camera FC issues so I set it to intervals and now it's great. Just FYI for those who use it.

Still have no idea why really could do with advice

If I'm correct that's basically if you are playing music and such throughout the Bluetooth than that is the media that's killing your phone
Edit: it actually has the name of things that are causing the media
