Public bug reported: i encounter this problem over many releases with varying frequency. i file it finally after recent occurrence, but i believe it is *not* caused by pulseaudio in general, as seems to be the case this time. the issue started with pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog occupying 82% of the cpu and nearly frozen firefox, which was repaired by killing the firefox task. however, afterwards the 100% cpu use remained for at least a few minutes. attached is a screen grab, however due to actual screen grab activity there was a rise from ca. 12% *indicated* to ca. 56% *indicated*. after *years* of on/off struggle with the problem it would be good to finally have it solved. thanks. Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10
