I found out why PA takes up so much CPU. I noticed it only by accident, and with the help of the new pavucontrol (0.9.8). When you set PA to use 6 channels, it also sets that for input. So your mic would record with 6 channels, not just 2. In the new pavucontrol, you can change the configuration on the fly. On the last tab, you have a dropdown box with the options to put the system in 5.1 analogue output with 5.1 analogue input, 5.1 analogue output with stereo input etc. When I had it set to use stereo input, no CPU usage, but when I changed it to 5.1 input, the CPU went crazy again.
So all that remains with the jaunty version is to figure out how to set the input to use only 2 channels, instead of 6. -- Pulseaudio crashes with pavucontrol https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373450 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
