No matter what we think of flash, pulseaudio is not a product of the flash plugin. It is a free and opensource linux product. I just created output of strace of the pulseaudio process and posted it at http://pastebin.com/VbgCXwc3 It shows clearly that it is in a tight loop polling and finding nothing to process. As I had stated earlier, there is no youtube video playing at all. It seems once you play any browser based flash video, pulseaudio will continue to run even after you kill the tab where it was playing, and chew up 40% of cpu (at least, this is on my laptop with the old athlon64 3700+ unicore cpu). I do not know how much it consumes on much faster cpu's. Are there audio engineers on this list? Is this the way to handle an audio stream by an audio daemon? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
