** Description changed: Binary package hint: mpd Opening another bug report for this, because none of the stuff in #221951 applies. I've got Ubuntu running headless on a 1GHz M10000. It was fine with 8.04 and 8.10, but since upgrading to 9.04 MPD is chewing CPU. Every few seconds it spikes to 30% CPU usage. I'm not running PulseAudio, so it's not that. (I have libpulse0 installed because MPD demands it, but no other packages matching *pulse*.) I've tried explicitly stating that I want ALSA output in /etc/mpd.conf, and that doesn't help. Right now it's: audio_output { type "alsa" format 44100:16:2 name "audio out" } The MP3 files are sourced from 44.1kHz 16 bit rips of CDs, so it's not a sample rate issue. /var/log/mpd/errors.log says Apr 27 13:17 : problems opening audio device while playing "meta/Orchestral_Manoeuvres_in_the_Da/Organisation_Remastered/08-Promise.mp3" Apr 27 13:17 : problems opening audio device while playing "meta/Orchestral_Manoeuvres_in_the_Da/Organisation_Remastered/08-Promise.mp3" Apr 27 13:17 : problems opening audio device while playing "meta/Orchestral_Manoeuvres_in_the_Da/Organisation_Remastered/09-Stanlow.mp3" etc. The CPU usage peaks so badly that the audio is glitching. I upped the audio_buffer_size to 16384 to get something listenable. Suggestions? + + [Update] + Also: + + # cat pcm0p/sub0/hw_params + access: RW_INTERLEAVED + format: S16_LE + subformat: STD + channels: 2 + rate: 44100 (44100/1) + period_size: 2048 + buffer_size: 16384 + + while playing, so it's not a 44.1->48kHz conversion problem.
