Package: chromium
Version: 55.0.2883.75-1~deb8u1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading from 53.0.2785.89-1~deb8u1 to 55.0.2883.75-1~deb8u1,
Chromium is unable to properly use Pulseaudio. When I open a website
with audio (a YouTube video for example), Chromium starts opening and closing
'ALSA Playback'-sinks at very rapid rate (thousands of times per minute).
This makes audio extremely degraded and causes some noticeable CPU load.
Downgrading back to to v53 immediately fixes the problem.
I'm using jessies Pulseaudio 5.0-13 with default settings in
a plasma-desktop 4 desktop environment.
% cat .asoundrc
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
hint.description "Default Audio Device"
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.default pulse
ctl.default pulse
