Package: audacity
Version: 1.3.2-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

when starting up audacity, it uses 100% CPU without doing anything. It doesn't
matter if I use ALSA or JACK. If you can't reproduce this, I can describe my
setup in more detail. Just ask.

"strace audacity" looks like this, infinitely:

Thanks for the note and sorry for the delay.

I can't reproduce the problem with jackd 0.103.0-6.

Closing the bug now.
