[Bug 261509] Re: Audacious causes excessive cpu usage while playing on Intrepid Alpha 4

[Martin Emrich]

Hi!

I just disabled all those audio-enhancing gizmos that are enabled by default, and now the CPU load is down to 4%:
(not I am running LANG=de_DE, so I backtranslated the names of the buttons, possibly inaccurate)

- Go to preferences (CTRL+P)
- Audio pane: disable "active resampling" (or whatever it is called in LANG=C)
- Playback amplification pane: disable playback amplification

Of course one loses these features, but now the high CPU usage is gone.
So IMHO this is not a bug, but a set of CPU-hungry features, that
actually might bring a benefit to some users.

I propose that at least the active resampling should be off by default
for new installations, as PulseAudio is now standard, and it does it's
own resampling anyways.

Ciao

Martin
