Description Bill Nottingham 2007-08-09 16:32:17 UTC
Description of problem:

When rhythmbox is paused, the sound card causes ~50 interrupts per second (as
measured with powertop). When rhythmbox is *stopped*, there are no interrupts.

totem shows a similar amount of interrupts when ran, whether stopped or paused.
Ergo, the problem is presumably in gstreamer somewhere.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rhythmbox-0.11.1-1.fc8
totem-2.19.4-2.fc8
gstreamer-0.10.14-2.fc8

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2007-08-09 16:48:29 UTC
Similar behavior is seen in ogg123, and even rec.

However, it doesn't happen with 'cat /dev/dsp'. So, most likely culprit is alsa.

Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2007-08-20 13:51:54 UTC
note: cat /dev/dsp uses OSS emulation not native alsa
