It actually happened again yesterday, and the battery dropped by about 20% in about 4 hours (according to Battery Eye) before I noticed, and now the cumulative CPU time for pulseaudio looks similar to yours. So if you ever see pulseaudio using non-0 CPU when there's no sound playing, try killing tonegend or pulseaudio itself. The killed process will be restarted automagically. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.vmware.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
