Some further information... When I have started an audio stream that has caused PA's CPU usage to shoot up, here is what PA is saying while it's CPU hogging, and just prior to my pausing the stream again to alleviate the CPU usage: ... D: alsa-sink.c: Requested volume: 0: 63% 1: 63% D: alsa-sink.c: Got hardware volume: 0: 65% 1: 65% D: alsa-sink.c: Calculated software volume: 0: 98% 1: 98% D: alsa-sink.c: Requested to rewind 14336 bytes. D: alsa-sink.c: Limited to 10800 bytes. D: alsa-sink.c: before: 2700 D: alsa-sink.c: after: 0 I: alsa-sink.c: Tried rewind, but was apparently not possible. D: module-suspend-on-idle.c: Sink alsa_output.pci_10de_26c_sound_card_0 becomes idle. D: core.c: Hmm, no streams around, trying to vacuum. I: sink-input.c: Freeing input 230 "audiotest wave" I: client.c: Freed 240 "Rhythmbox" I: protocol-native.c: Connection died. D: module-rtp-recv.c: Checking for dead streams ... And here is where the CPU usage of it drops again, after the stream has been paused: I: module-suspend-on-idle.c: Sink alsa_output.pci_10de_26c_sound_card_0 idle for too long, suspending ... I: alsa-sink.c: Device suspended... Any further help? b. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
