Both pulseaudio versions do take about 14-16% CPU of 600Mhz when playing "Closer to where you want me" (standard supplied song)

-no difference between old and updated Pulsaudio in CPU usage
-memory footprint: 1,88 % for old and 1,63% for new
-Pulseaudio goes to sleep after quit

After killing pulseaudio manually (from xterm), hildon-home started to use 99% of CPU power, @900mhz. Strange, as I don't have any "multimedia" wikdgets (hardly any widgets at all...). Killing hildon-home Bring everything back to normal - no more oddities.

pulseaudio CPU usage, during playback of .ogg q=6 file, is ~7% @ 500 mhz. mafw-dbus-wrapper adds another 3-4%, and openmediaplayer throws 2-3% in. Total CPU usage during playback of said file, with screen on and conky, is 23-30% - would be 5-7% less with device locked and no Conky.

Looks just about OK, if not right, if not "great!" ;)

the correct way is:

stop pulseaudio
start pulseaudio

Though I recommend a reboot, just in case

Is that correct? All other pulseaudio-related packages upgraded fine.

Are you sure you are on PR1.3? As that looks really strange.

Exactly same errors here, but fapman let me upgrade them all, and everything works fine. I'm definitely on PR1.3. I remember this error, seen it before (can't recall why I've reinstalled pulseaudio bits), and it ws always harmless.

Control file mess-up by Nokia?

2 more packages in -thumb - calendar-backend and EDS. Will wait for a couple of days and if there are no issues, will issue a new -mp

Installed, no issues so far. What the hell is EDS responsible for, so could do more thorough testing (calendar tested in every strange way I was able to try)?

Different thing - lately (= few weeks, maybe longer), I have observed, that many times in idle, xorg uses slightly more % of CPU time, than it used to. May it be similar thing as with thumb packaging of pulseaudio?

Hmm, it might be because I recompiled clutter with -O3 -ffast-math -ftree-vectorize. The same flags that was causing pulseaudio to use more CPU than usual :D. Though for a correct measurement you need to have your CPU frequency locked ;)

do we actually need esound-compat for anything? apt-get seems to be fine with deleting it (no packages depend on it), but with dependencies you never know.

does any program actually use esd?

No idea, but it seems stock -pr depends on it, so...

AFAIK it has been a long-standing "bug" ("upstream") that pulseaudio included the esound compatibility as a dependency. Maybe 10 years ago it made sense. I spotted this package yesterday in my Ubuntu 12.04 and purged it with no adverse effects.

I have just done that on my N900. Seems OK. I don't want to start a discussion on what CSSU should do and what it should not do, but I personally think that it's about time to stop caring about one-to-one compatibility with Nokia PR/SSU, so CSSU-team could test/check if this dependency is actually needed, and if not, remove it.
