looking at the cpu usage, I have 6% when kagu is not playing (mainly maemo_af_desktop using those 6%). when kagu is playing I see osso_media_server coming up, using just 2 cycles and 8% of total cpu usage.

cheers, karl.
It would only happen with A2DP if it happens at all. We do our best to kill mplayer, but sometimes it'll hang and a kill signal won't work. It seems rare on my system though.

I think the Bluetooth-ALSA people are working out a new way to do A2DP so that we don't have to manage the a2dpd process at the application layer anymore. This issue will go away when that happens, I think. For now, just try to check every now and then if mplayer is running. If you notice a pattern, let me know and I'll see if it's a bug.
