Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Gutsy 64-bit, Rhythmbox 0.11.2.
Playing large MP3 audio-books (in this case a 10-hour file - 286.9 MB) causes Rhythmbox to keep the CPU(s) under heavy load and drives temperatures towards the high-end of their range. Expected normal temperature is 52C but I'm seeing 64-69C as one or other core is being driven hard constantly.
System Monitor Processes tab reports Rhythmbox is sleeping and using 32% CPU. CPU history tab shows one CPU at 60%, the other around 8%. Occasionally the load swaps cores (presumably as threads start/stop).
As soon as playback is paused both cores drop to 2% usage and the temperature rapidly falls back to normal levels.
Playing 'general' audio tracks (3-8 minutes) there is no problem.
Using an alternative music player just as XMMS there is no problem. |
