[Bug 57703] Re: Causes repetitive dropouts in playing music

[Isak Savo]

Autoaway does nothing to the sound, but it does have a timeout function
with an interval of 5 seconds. The CPU spikes does seem like they appear
at regular interval so maybe this is the issue?

The timeout is setup using xchat_hook_timer() and it polls the status of
the screensaver - maybe something it does is disturbing the sound?

towolf: Are you using X11 screensaver? (autoaway prints which
screensaver it found when it starts up) If not, I doubt it's autoaways
fault, since all it does in the callback for gnome-screensaver is check
the state of a local boolean variable.
