Of course, if you're using its ALSA-emulation that's a moot point. AFAICR (haven't had this problem for ages), CPU usage from PA is basically caused by the resampling, which you can just modify to a simpler method if you don't need the higher quality of the default (speex, I believe). I have been using the ffmpeg resample method because of that, it uses less cpu, or seems to use less cpu here, and with my setup I cannot detect any loss in quality, but hey, it is a laptop and the analog audio path is not stellar so ymmv. Hmm, I tried that, didn't seem to help. In fact it's super frustrating now because VLC is back to use ~16% CPU again no matter what resample method I use and what audio output option I choose. Also, does anyone know what is restarting pulseaudio after I --kill? Is it gnome-shell? I don't have Pulseaudio installed, yet, so I haven't tried it myself, but AFAIK you could try to start VLC with pasuspender wich will suspend PA as long as a given programm is running.

Then Arch Linux users can build the package using makepkg, or a more automated tool like yaourt. If the package gets enough votes on the AUR it will be considered for inclusion in the community repo where it can directly be installed by pacman. If you need help creating a PKGBUILD, or want to request someone do it for you then see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=38. Start here for more information on how the AUR works: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR Do you really believe this is a serious request ? I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I figured it most likely wasn't a serious request. A quick search in google reveals that he spammed it across lists of numerous distributions and others. Must be a religious fanatic or just a troll. *shrugs*
