[Pkg-pulseaudio-devel] Bug#484592: [pulseaudio] skips when switching windows

[Ethan Glasser-Camp]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.10-2
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

With recent versions of pulseaudio, I get skips in my audio when I
switch windows using Alt-Tab. My setup is KDE, Amarok, libxine, and
Pulseaudio with the esound output, but I got the same behavior with
alsaplayer and the esound output and audacious with the pulseaudio output.

I'm not really sure where to file this bug. I tried looking at the
output of top and it looks like Xorg is using a lot of CPU time when
this happens, causing CPU Idle % to drop to 0, but I'm pretty sure this
didn't used to happen. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated,
because this is driving me crazy.
