Subject: audacious: High CPU usage

Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2010 15:45:44 +0100

Package: audacious
Version: 2.3-2
Severity: normal


The usage of CPU is now very high aprox 20-40%    (depends on song played)
with audacious version 2.1-1 and playing same songs cpu was about 2-5 %

Since audacious is defined as small and fast audio player, it will be no
interesting with such a high cpu usage.

Playing a stereo, 22050 Hz, 77 kbps Vorbis file (resampled to 44100 Hz)
on an Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 at 2 GHz:

Cpu(s):  0.9%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni, 99.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st

Your high CPU usage may be a problem with your audio output system.  Try
outputting to ALSA device "hw:0,0".
