High processor load during Ekiga SIP calls

[Sucram]

Binary package hint: ekiga

When making SIP calls with Ekiga, we experience 3-5 times higher processor loads than using another SIP client on the same system for comparison.

Hi,

Please upgrade to Ekiga 3.2.6:
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/HowTo_install_Ekiga_packages#9.10_Karmic_Koala

I do not expect it will fix this issue but it is still worth the try; I suspect the issue is with pulse audio.

See this bug for Reference and a test procedure to check if the issue is the interaction with pulse audio:

Best regards,
Yannick

Please try with a new version (4.0) and tell if you still have the same problem.
