I suppose that's possible. I'd certainly like to believe that's the case rather than everything is working as it should and peak readings are taking 5Mb/s (3 in one direction and 2 in the other) of bandwidth. > Keep in mind it'll be active for all the vumeters... so that > is every sink, source, sink input and source output.... all in all > that's quite a lot of vumeter! I suppose, if the sample rate were absurdly high. But realistically, a sample rate of 5-10 per second should be more than sufficient and if you are just reading integer values, that couldn't possibly account for multiple Mb/s of traffic. b.
