Hello again.

I wanted to update this bug, because I now know that it is directly related to bug 4962. The plugin works properly without issue until I turn off my monitors (something I do when I go away from my PC). When I come back, and turn them on, I notice the CPU is at maximum usage. This is because the USB microphone/hub/webcam imbedded in the monitors is one of the available devices to control using the mixer plugin. As soon as they are detached, it is the same issue as in bug 4962 - the CPU load goes up immensely, as though the plugin is trying to check or configure the microphones that were powered off. And obviously when they are powered back on, it still freaks out. Hope this helps.
