I had to use the --no-vmlinux option: $ sudo opcontrol --no-vmlinux Then I did: $ sudo opcontrol --start and then resumed my audio application. Unfortunately it did not put PA into a loop, so I paused my audio app and did: $ sudo opcontrol --stop and then $ sudo opcontrol --start and then resumed my app. Still no CPU eating loop. I had to repeat the above a few times before PA would again chew the CPU. So I let PA and my audio app run for a while chewing the CPU, however: $ sudo opreport -l /usr/bin/pulseaudio only produces: opreport error: basic_string::erase I must have gone wrong somewhere.
