Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
When I run Audacity and I record voice from analog line input on sound card
Xorg eats 100% CPU, even if Audacity is minimized. I've experienced the same
problem with some other applications, too and my friends got this problem in
Karmic installer (Ubiquity) on Radeon 9000, 9100 and 9200 (R2xx). I use Radeon
9600 which is RV350, and I've been upgrading from 9.04 and couldn't test the
installer.
All the tests where done with Kubuntu (I don't know anyone near me using Gnome).
