2011-08-25 12:25:17 Jarno Suni summary unresponsive Volume meters take too much CPU
2011-08-25 12:38:38 Jarno Suni description Switching active tab and mute and lock buttons is slow sometimes during playback. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: pavucontrol 0.9.9-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-11.48-generic 2.6.38.8 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-11-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Aug 21 22:32:46 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110426.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: pavucontrol UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) During playback (or during input) the respective volume meters take a lot of CPU via Xorg process, if such a meter is visible in pavucontrol's user interface. When playing music, for instance, Xorg process will then take about all available CPU power of AMD Athlon XP processor, that is about 70% of CPU; pavucontrol itself takes only 3%. VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 420] (rev a3), using the default free driver.
