banshee causes high cpu during stream buffering

[Steffen Mueller]

Binary package hint: banshee

Starting a stream using a slow internet connection, causes the "buffering" bar to show up for a long time, at a cost of high CPU usage.

Steffen, Please could you check if this behaviour is still affecting you with latest release of banshee 2.0 included in Ubuntu Natty? Thank you

Difficult to test, as I have proper internet again, but it seems to be better. However, I think the bar is still taking too much CPU.

Have you tried to disabled gapless and ppm options in banshee preferences to see if that helps a bit?
