Bug Description
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
After installing latest pulseaudio package and staring the server the power consumption raised up to 24W on laptop. Having stopped daemon it dropped back to ~15W. Remarkably, this behaviour was observed without any music being played. This behaviour is unacceptable and prevents from using pulseaudio on laptop.

Could it be that you were transcoding one sample rate to another?
maybe if there was unity between all the devices the load would be less.
