Bug Description

Hi,

i try to do a sip call in empathy and the pulse audio process is using 100% CPU after few seconds. Regarding to the recommendation of a user in ubuntuusers.de i started empathy with "ubuntu-bug empathy" to reproduce this problem and open this bug report. This also documentated in Bug #903799. I switched the default device to alsa with gstreamer-properties. With this workaround the SIP telphony with empathy is possible.

Best regards

Dave

This issue is reproducable on my machine, i didn't tested it on another machine, but because of to bug #903799 i think it will be reproducable on other hardware also.
I use a DELL Precision M4400 Laptop with an HDA Intel STAC92xx Soundcard.

The specific steps should be:
1) Install Ubuntu 11.10.
2) Install Sofiasip Extensions to enable SIP telephony in empathy
3) Configure a SIP Account in empathy (i used 1&1, a german SIP Provider)
4) Start a call from empathy to another phone
5) After approximatly 10 seconds, pulseaudio will use 100% CPU.

This will just happen with empathy and pulseaudio. All other software packages (like rhythmbox) did't has any problem (also with the default settings in gstreamer-properties).

Mmh, i accepted the Updates that are released for ubuntu the last 2 weeks and the error seems to fixed or has changed a little bit. I configured the gestreamer to use pulseadio and the pulseaudio just used 8-12% CPU. But know the empathy client is using 100% CPU.
Attached you'll find the debug log of empathy...
