[Pkg-pulseaudio-devel] Bug#506421: pulseaudio: takes excessive CPU time

[Johannes Berg]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.13-1
Severity: normal

Especially when rhythmbox wants to proceed to the next song,
rhythmbox starts hanging and pulseaudio taking excessive CPU
time. When, in rhythmbox, I manually select another song then
at least it can be played, but pa still uses large amounts of
CPU time and eventually dies because it used too much:

Soft CPU time limit exhausted, terminating.
E: cpulimit.c: Recevied request to terminate due to CPU overload.
