[Pkg-pulseaudio-devel] Bug#574589: pulseaudio: pacmd causing 100% CPU load

[Johannes Rohr]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.21-1
Severity: important

Very often, when I try to suspend pulseaudio (to work around bug #460197 ) I see CPU load shooting up to 100% caused by a pacmd process, which never finishes unless I kill it.

This seems to be essentially the same as this Ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/507941

Ubuntu seems to have fixed it, so it would be good if you could consider importing the fix.
