It's totem specific. It doesn't happen with rhythmbox or gst- launch-0.10. It happens for mp3 and ogg with short clips and long clips. It seems like totem has this problem with all audio (mp3's and ogg's). Even video files are using less cpu (also in totem).
Here are some files I experience this issue with : http://tllts.org/mirror.php?fname=tllts_262-09-10-08.mp3 http://tllts.org/mirror.php?fname=tllts_262-09-10-08.ogg -- Totem uses too much cpu while playing audio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269399 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
