The one thing I noticed is > that the pulseaudio -vvvv output is very copiously: Hmm, please try to reproduce this harder. The load limiter only becomes active when the load produced by PA is very high for a longer time. > Sure. http://brian.interlinx.bc.ca/pulseaudio_start.txt Hmm, so you seem to be using the tunnel stuff a lot. I am pretty sure this is related to the tunnel stuff since we already had other reports about that. Could you please disable this and reproduce? > > Which PA evrsion is this? > > 0.9.15-1ubuntu2~ppa1 Have the Ubuntu kernel guys fixed all the snd_pcm_delay()/snd_pcm_avail() issues in the HDA driver? i.e. stole those pacthes from the F11 kernel? If not, please make sure they integrate them. Without those patches cpu load issues are very likely.
