that is happening to me also, running a top command shows puls taking 25% and after a while drops to 1.5

Mine never dropped, that's why I ended up with a battery problem.. now after I killed it (and it restarted itself) things are back to normal.

OK. PulseAudio sucks. We know this already.
But do we have an alternative?

I'd like to find some way to get rid of pulseaudio too. I can't use skype really, audio is choppy to the point I want to throw the phone out of the window. pulseaudio takes 35% cpu @600mhz both with speakers or headphones.

Sorry for necroing this thread, but I also discovered that PulseAudio is using about 33% of the CPU (at 250mhz), and this is very excessive I think.
Would be really nice to have a way to bypass the speaker protection thing, or get rid of Pulse Audio at all (I always had problems with it even on my netbook).

What the ****?!

I got the same problem in the latest days: idle pulseaudio draining battery. I'm on power-kernel_v46

idle pulseaudio should use any CPU. Probably some application is keeping a stream open.

you're probably right, I left a paused symfonie in background and it probably doesn't close the stream when paused.
