Public bug reported:
The totem-mozilla plugin doesn't provide any way to disable
visualisations, even if you disable them from the main totem menu.
This means that all audio streams that are shown in the plugin have the
default 'goom' visualisation, which is very processor intensive and
makes slow machines very sluggish.
I've attached a patch which disables visualisations completely. It would
be nice if this could be the default behaviour in ubuntu, at least until
upstream provides some way of manually disabling it, for a number of
reasons:
1) visualisations like this needlessly waste power, especially on battery
2) visualisations make sound playback on slow computers choppy, and make the
computer sluggish
3) no-one really needs visualisations at all.
Thanks.
