Package: vlc Version: 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-5.1+etch2 Severity: minor
wxvlc will cause about 260 interrupts per second when playing a local MP3 file, about 320 interrupts / second when paused while playing and about 130 ips after being stopped (all values measured using powertop). strace reveals that wxvlc is constantly calling settimeofday and polling two file descriptors even when there is nothing to do. This way of keeping the CPU busy will increase power consumption and temperature, along with drastically decreasing battery time for laptops. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-hrt1-phc Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages vlc depends on: ii libaa 1.4p5-30 ascii art library ii libat 1.12.4-3 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libca 0.99.beta11.debian-2 colour ASCII art library ii libca 1.2.4-4.1+etch1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcd 0.76-1 library to read and control CD-ROM ii libcu 0.99.beta11.debian-2 low-level Unicode character drawin ii libdb 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdb 0.71-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfo 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfr 2.2.1-5+etch2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfr 0.10.7-4 Free Implementation of the Unicode ii libgc 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libgl 6.5.2-5~etch A free implementation of the OpenG ii libgl 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgl 6.5.1-0.6 The OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii libgt 2.8.20-7 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libic 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libis 0.76-1 library to work with ISO9660 files ii libjp 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libno 0.4.3-1 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libpa 1.14.8-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpn 1.2.15~beta5-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsd 1.2.5-2+etch1 image loading library for Simple D ii libsd 1.2.11-8 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libsm 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libst 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libta 1.2.11-4 C library for manipulating tar arc ii libti 3.8.2-7 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libvc 0.7.23-3 library to extract information fro ii libvl 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-5.1+etch2 multimedia player and streamer lib ii libwx 2.6.3.2.1.5 wxBase library (runtime) - non-GUI ii libwx 2.6.3.2.1.5 wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI t ii libx1 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxc 1.1.7-4 X cursor management library ii libxe 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxf 1:4.0.1-5 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxi 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxo 2.2.14-1.3 X On-Screen Display library - runt ii libxr 2:1.1.0.2-5 X11 RandR extension library ii libxr 1:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxv 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Video extension library ii libxx 1:1.0.1-2 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii ttf-d 2.15-1 Vera font family derivate with add ii vlc-n 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-5.1+etch2 multimedia player and streamer (wi ii zlib1 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages vlc recommends: pn videolan-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
