Hi

Just curious about a process that shows up in top as exe--it uses a fair
amount of processor time and killing it does not seem to effect
anything. I am wondering what it is-and where it is.


`ps auxwwf` does not list anything named exe.

Thanks

- Joshua

It's Pulse Audio.

Sounds odd to me, there is no such process running on the x86_64 I just
installed yesterday morning.

It's Pulse Audio.

Weird!

I guess I don't have a clue about pulse audio, I am running KDE desktop
and xmms did not seem phased at all by killing the process.


I wonder what starts the process since it seems to be just using energy
for nothing.


Thanks

I believe xmms uses the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, so when you kill pulse
it just uses alsa.
