Package: mpd Version: 0.13.2-1 Severity: normal Hi!
Sometimes, mpd wastes 25% CPU on my Core 2 Duo. This seems a known bug due to libao. There is a workaround on MPD wiki: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting_Libao However, this just reduces CPU usage to 5% on my machine. Another work around is to pause/unpause. The CPU will stay at 0 for one hour or more. Other refs: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10203 http://musicpd.org/mantis/view.php?id=485 In the second link, upstream says this is a problem in libao. I know that ALSA can suck but other players do not seem to use as much as CPU than mpd does. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mpd depends on: ii adduser 3.108 add and remove users and groups ii libao2 0.8.8-4 Cross Platform Audio Output Librar ii libasound2 1.0.16-2 ALSA library ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-7 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libavahi-client3 0.6.23-2 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.23-2 Avahi common library ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfaad0 2.6.1-3 freeware Advanced Audio Decoder - ii libflac8 1.2.1-1.2 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtim ii libid3tag0 0.15.1b-10 ID3 tag reading library from the M ii libjack0 0.109.2-3 JACK Audio Connection Kit (librari ii libmad0 0.15.1b-3 MPEG audio decoder library ii libmikmod2 3.1.11-a-6 A portable sound library ii libmpcdec3 1.2.2-1 Musepack (MPC) format library ii libogg0 1.1.3-4 Ogg Bitstream Library ii libpulse0 0.9.10-2 PulseAudio client libraries ii libsamplerate0 0.1.4-1 audio rate conversion library ii libshout3 2.2.2-5 MP3/Ogg Vorbis broadcast streaming ii libvorbis0a 1.2.0.dfsg-3.1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisenc2 1.2.0.dfsg-3.1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisfile3 1.2.0.dfsg-3.1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime mpd recommends no packages.
