Bug Description
Binary package hint: audacious
While running Hardy, normal things like web browsing with Firefox, music with Audacious, bittorrent with KTorrent, and messaging with Pidgin would make my cpu idle at anywhere from 1.8Ghz to 2.2Ghz, with 2.4Ghz and 2.6Ghz spikes being quite rare. After installing Intrepid Alpha 4 on my computer I've noticed rather intense cpu usage and lagging on the desktop even when Audacious is the only program running:
starts playing:

stops playing:

If I check Processes in System Monitor it shows Audacious with cpu usage in the 40's.

Same here (current intrepid amd64). While audacious plays MP3 webradio, it uses ca. 55% CPU (2.8GHz Athlon 64 X2), which is way too much for a music player.
