Just tested: mplayer playing a 352x388 700kb/s DIVX, with mp3 audio. CPU usage: mplayer 5%, pulseaudio 13%. Considering that mplayer is decompressing the audio *and the video* while pulseaudio is ... well, doing nothing beyond putting itself between the player and the kernel to achieve who knows what.... you really want to know what the hell pulseaudio is doing with that amount of CPU. I'll keep the A/V desync , "reset card" messages and "let's just switch to pause mode" problems of mplayer (only when used with pulseaudio) for another occasion. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
