2020-07-28 04:08:36 Erich Eickmeyer description zita-ajbridge allows bridging extra alsa devices to jackd as a client. If that extra device is a USB device and is unplugged, the bridge uses 100% cpu and slows the rest of the system to a crawl. The only way to stop this process is with a kill -9. However, there is already a bugfix release upstream. The release notes for version 0.8.4 (which is already in Groovy) are only one line: "zita-ajbridge 0.8.4     (05/04/2020) * Fixed 100% CPU on sound card disconnect.

If that extra device is a USB device and is unplugged, the bridge uses 100% cpu and slows the rest of the system to a crawl. The only way to stop this process is with a kill -9. [Test Case] * Using (Ubuntu) Studio Controls, start Jack with built-in sound card and a USB device. * Unplug USB device. Bridge will now use 100% CPU process and stall the system. [Regression Potential] * The upstream version has one single change consisting of the bugfix to prevent the 100% CPU usage on disconnect. While it is possible that this fix doesn't do what it advertises, the regression potential here is slim to none. [Additional Info] * As already noted, this fix is already in Groovy.
