Is this a Intel HDA soundcard?  In this case, it's a known issue (the
Intel HDA driver is broken and doesn't integrate into our event loop
properly).

2.1 which will be hitting sid in a couple of weeks will feature a new
ALSA output plugin which can handle it.

Subject: Found on 2.1-1 kernel 2.6.30-1-amd64 (2.6.30-5) hda-intel with NVidia MCP61.
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:37:32 -0300
Package: audacious
Version: 2.1-1
Severity: normal

  Found on Audacious 2.1-1, kernel 2.6.30-1-amd64 (2.6.30-5), hda-intel with
NVidia MCP61.
  Using top, the process hd-audio0 (kernel internal) consumes 46% of 1 CPU
while Audacious plays, doesn't happen with other programs AFAICT.
  The audacious2 process only consumes 2%.
  In my dmesg I see one
"hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj."
and some "Too big adjustment 32", which I don't know if they are related.
  The "Too big adjustment 32" happens once per every song I play in Audacious
and not for other programs.
  Maybe this is a kernel issue, though it didn't happen with Audacious 1.5.1
and doesn't happen with other audio applications.
  The hw_params and sw_params with Audacious:
access: RW_INTERLEAVED
format: S16_LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 44100 (44100/1)
period_size: 32
buffer_size: 1024

tstamp_mode: NONE
period_step: 1
avail_min: 32
start_threshold: 1
stop_threshold: 1024
silence_threshold: 0
silence_size: 0
boundary: 4611686018427387904

  The hw_params and sw_params with MPlayer:
access: RW_INTERLEAVED
format: S16_LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 44100 (44100/1)
period_size: 1024
buffer_size: 16384

tstamp_mode: NONE
period_step: 1
avail_min: 1024
start_threshold: 1024
stop_threshold: 4611686018427387904
silence_threshold: 0
silence_size: 4611686018427387904
boundary: 4611686018427387904

  In Audacious I am using the ALSA-NG output plugin with "hw:0,0" as audio
device, 16 bit output depth, output rate converter disabled, and
"bypass all of signal processing if possible" enabled.
  The problem goes away if I select the "default" audio device, but then the
sound card runs with 32 bits of depth and 48000hz, even if the songs are
44100hz.
  I don't want to use a rate conversion from 44100 to 48000 if the card
is able to internally operate at 44100, it seems to be a waste of CPU and
sound quality to do that.

  Some PCI info:
00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
        Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Device 3662
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22
        Memory at df7f8000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]

        Capabilities: [6c] HyperTransport: MSI Mapping Enable- Fixed+

  Any suggestions?
  Thanks!!!

Just because audacious2 causes the symptom does not mean it is a bug in Audacious.
This is an ALSA bug.  What is happening is that the HD-Audio driver is not providing
a good default period_size/buffer_size.  As most programs now days are not providing
their own period_size/buffer_size, to give the audio device an opportunity to provide
good defaults, this will show up in other programs.

   I went ahead and searched the ALSA bug database, then submitted a 
bug: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4721 .
   You can see also http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/66376 .
   The problem is (it seems to me) that there is not a good value for 
all applications, and since there are a lot of hardware combinations 
then there isn't a good value for the driver neither, since it can 
depend on how fast the CPU is, or the underlying codec, etc..
   Maybe an "Expert" frame can be added to the ALSA preferences in 
Audacious, having a checkbox to enable and allowing to set the period 
size and the buffer size by the user, with a button "Test" so the user 
can see the CPU impact and latency, etc.

   Thanks again. Have a nice day!

   Indeed, when I upgraded libasound2 from 1.0.20-4 to 1.0.21a-1 it 
fixed the problem!
   My new hw_params with Audacious is this now:
access: RW_INTERLEAVED
format: S16_LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 44100 (44100/1)
period_size: 512
buffer_size: 16384

   The original reporter is missing, so maybe this bug should be closed 
now since it is most likely a problem with the old libasound2 library 
and not Audacious.
   Thanks!

After the upgrade from audacious 2.0.1 to 2.1, I started seeing this.
This did not happen at the same time as a kernel upgrade, so I feel
fairly justified in seeing this bug filed against audacious.

Started seeing what?  Please elaborate.

If you mean that you are using a high-quality resampling method, then
you can expect Audacious to consume a lot of CPU.

Likewise, if you mean that you started seeing the Audacious process take
15-30% of CPU time in system calls when outputting through DMix, but not
when outputting to hardware directly, then I can confirm, both on an
Intel ICH6 and an HDA.  But that is a problem with DMix, not Audacious.

Peace,
John Lindgren

Very, very high CPU usage.

No, not doing that.

Not using DMix either -- hardware direct.  Hardware is Intel HDA, but
earlier Audacious had no trouble with it.

How high?  Give a number.

Is it user-space or system CPU time?  Use "top" to find out.

I have reinstalled audacious2, and now cannot duplicate the problem.
Strange.  I now have version 2.1-1+b1, which perhaps fixed it?

Original reporter has not responded for many months, and mails from
other users do not seem to refer to the same bug, so closing.
