I am also seeing this bug on Karmic (essentially every time I unplug my USB
headset).
BTW, the root cause appears to be the same as Bug #417778
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-volumed/+bug/417778)
--
xfce4-mixer-plugin uses a whole CPU core

Thank you for helping improve Xubuntu. A great help from cmeerw, I am
marking this bug as a duplicate of bug 417778. Since the root causes are
the same, they are duplicates.
** Changed in: xfce4-mixer
Same here, except not quite 100%. I have Xubuntu 9.04 on 32-bit x86 and
occasionally, xfce4-mixer-plugin starts using 80-90% CPU. If I have an
instance of xfce4-mixer itself running, that is not affected, nor does
it seem to have any effect on the bug.
I am using ALSA on a C-Media CMI8738. The
I can confirm this bug on Karmic Koala.
