high consumption of CPU by pulseaudio

What version of Ubuntu are you using? If you are using Jaunty or newer, please run this command in a terminal: "apport-collect -p pulseaudio 390473"

Thanks.

 affects ubuntu/pulseaudio
 status incomplete

In all versions, provided that the ubuntu started using!.

I'm use the Jaunty.
The problem does not fix it, but the worst thing is that come as standard.

Thanks very much.

I am running a development version of Kubuntu karmic updated at least 2x daily. While trying to figure out why KDE 4.3 bogs down so regularly, I ran top and noticed that pulseaudio was consistently using >50-60% of the CPU on this Intel Core 2 Duo E 2160 with 4 GB of RAM.

Am running one mp3.

will run and report the apport-collect mentioned above.

The functionality of apport-collect is, um, er, ragged.

After authorizing it to run, I went off to have dinner. An hour or so later, it appeared to be still running in the "konsole" terminal. I pressed Ctrl-C and got two lines back that a report was being submitted to launchpad.net. However, I am unable to confirm from a search on this web site that the report was actually received.

Is this symptom reproducible in the most current daily-live desktop Lucid image? If so, please attach your lspci -nv and /proc/asound/card*/codec*
