I am raising this to high importance. I am running Xubuntu, which does not use pulse audio. I am seeing the same issues reported. Having the gnome-volume-control-applet using 40% of the cpu and attempting to spawn unknown other processes severely impacts the ability to work on the system. This bug was sent upstream upstream and they closed it as a distribution bug.
This does need to be resolved for Karmic to be useful. ** Changed in: gnome-media (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => High -- gnome-volume-control-applet takes up to 40% cpu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400820 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
