As I've already written, it does not make too much difference if I play a streaming URL or a local mp3 file ...
Here is the result of gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri="file://..." playing an mp3 for local harddisk (it's a 128kbit mp3 stream): real 3m0.855s user 0m12.177s sys 0m1.372s It's again 7% which close to 6-7% similar to all players using gstreamer. CPU time reported by top is 13sec. So the problem is not caused by the fact that I'm playing a streaming stuff or a local file. -- rhythmbox is slow! https://launchpad.net/bugs/73744 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
