fedora 14: pulseaudio eating cpu and memory without reason...

11-06-2010, 06:43 PM

Hi,

Even when not playing any audio, pulseaudio uses CPU and memory
* PID USER***** PR* NI* VIRT* RES* SHR S %CPU %MEM*** TIME+* COMMAND*******
*2257 marius*** 20** 0* 941m 7524 3188 S* 2.9* 0.4* 14:22.57 chrome********

*2956 marius*** 20** 0 2026m 537m 9612 S* 2.9 26.8* 27:40.42 java**********
*1500 marius*** 20** 0* 437m 3100 1768 S* 2.0* 0.2* 14:53.45 pulseaudio*

There are numerous reports about this
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=pulseaudio+cpu

Do you have any suggestions for fixing or replacing it with something else?

Thanks
