PulseAudio opens the audio recording device to monitor sound input levels even 
when it isn't recording.  Set record=0 in the config and you should be able to 
have sound output without making the entire session slow.

Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] Ubuntu SRSS 4.2 performance issues over VPN/DSL 
connection

I've think I have gotten to the true cause of my VPN/DSL performance issue on 
Ubuntu 9.10 SRSS 4.2. It is the black eye of a number of Linux distributions, 
Pulse Audio. 

I was experiencing horrible performance over VPN/DSL. I removed pulse audio 
with the following command: 

sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio

I then rebooted. The latency from the utcapture command dropped from 32066 to 
35. 

So, now how do we fix it? Via my Netopia DSL modem admin interface I could see 
many tx packet discards. It looks like pulse audio is transmitting an huge 
amount of data which clobbers the performance. What is causing pulse audio to 
transmit so much data when I am not using any audio applications? 

Thanks, PLA
