It works, but I have the feeling pulseaudio process uses slightly more CPU than stock. I'll play a bit with the compiler flags to see what can be done.

Well, I hope you are also intelligent enough to post here "uname -a" output when asked three times.

You are right, when playing a .mp3 file (192 kBit/s) pulseaudio uses about 7 - 12% cpu load. Average is 9 - 10%.

I would start pointing at NEON as the culprit - IIRC some parts of Pulse were NEON-optimized, as mentioned in one of the config files.

new pulseaudio and berkeley (aka contacts) DB is in the repo, I would like to ask those who can risk a bit to test them and report.

Updated - one oddity after this one - pulseaudio started to use 15%-17% of CPU time (@500 mhz) just after updating, without any sound file being played. It continue to do so, for last 15 minutes.

Obviously, nothing suspicious in dmesg and syslog - I'll search a little for what may be causing this, and check if reboot fixes it, then report back here.

After update: about 10-12% on idle at 250MHz (dsp profile) and 30% when playing flac by media player widget (reading by conky)

EDIT- On ideal at 500MHz - 6% idle, 19-21% when playing music

Continuation of:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1007

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!"

pulseaudio-module-bluetooth - conflicts pulseaudio << 0.9.14-2
pulseaudio-esound-compat - conflicts pulseaudio << 0.9.14-2
pulseaudio - conflicts pulseaudio-module-nokia-voice << 0.9.15.0-42

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