Nice, so my fix works ! :-) There is still the bug in the X11 backend, but we should drop it IMHO. -- Causes repetitive dropouts in playing music https://launchpad.net/bugs/57703 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I fixed the upstream bug about the wrong backend used. It should use gnome-screensaver instead of X11 now. Testing welcome. But there is still the problem in the X11 backend. -- Causes repetitive dropouts in playing music https://launchpad.net/bugs/57703 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Towolf: Try to run the following two commands from a terminal while listening to music. Let's see if these are the once causing the dropouts (these are the exact commands that the plugin calls): xprop -f _SCREENSAVER_STATUS 32ac -root _SCREENSAVER_STATUS and xscreensaver-command --time -- Causes repetitive dropouts in playing music https://launchpad.net/bugs/57703 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 57703] Re: Causes repetitive dropouts in playing music
No, it will not change anything. It should use the gnome-screensave backend but doesn't. We have to find why. I open a upstream bug about that. Could you continue the discussion there and help us to find the problem? http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354306 -- Causes repetitive dropouts in playing music https://launchpad.net/bugs/57703 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I started xchat-gnome in a shell but it outputs nothing. There is also noverbose toggle. Where would I read that output? gnome-screensaver is running but it is set to inactive, i.e., I just blank the screen with g-p-m. Again, pretty clearly the peaks stop when I toggle the plugin.

In fact the output is in the conversation panel. When you load the plugin, you got something like that: Auto-away plugin 0.4 loaded (using GNOME screensaver) -- Causes repetitive dropouts in playing music https://launchpad.net/bugs/57703 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 57703] Re: Causes repetitive dropouts in playing music
I see. It says Auto-away plugin 0.4 loaded (using X11 screensaver) So, even though gnome-screensaver is running it reports using xscreensaver (which was installed in parallel, and which I’ve removed now that I noticed). I’ll report back if removing xscreensaver chnages anything. -- Causes repetitive dropouts in playing music https://launchpad.net/bugs/57703 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 57703] Re: Causes repetitive dropouts in playing music
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?

Thanks for your bug report.
Are you using any xchat-gnome plugins ?
If yes, could you try without them please.
I tried to removepPlugins one-by-one and when Auto-Away is inactive the
dropouts stop.
The problem is that I’m not able to freely switch plugins on and off.
Toggling them I get errors a la Cannot deactivate
/usr/lib/xchat-gnome/plugins/{dbus.so,autoaway.so}. But I deleted
autoaway.so and the dropouts do not occur anymore after a restart of x-g.
Good guess ...
