Ok, the problem also surfaces if I just open `gnome-volume-control` –
the one from PulseAudio I think.

$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/gnome-volume-control
gnome-media: /usr/bin/gnome-volume-control

PulseAudio shows 150 % of system usage in `top` but it goes back to
normal if I close `gnome-volume-control` afterward.


Thanks,

Paul
