[PlanetCCRMA] pulseaudio

[Oded Ben-Tal]

I think pulse audio has gone completely insane on my system - I have no 
audio application running and yet pulseaudio is taking 100% of cpu

This is what top shows:
   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND

The applications that I was actually using when I started noticing the 
machine grinding to a halt were gimp and openoffice. I closed applications 
(including firefox) to see if this makes a difference and it didn't seem 
to.
Any way of finding the source of this? or should I just disable pulseaudio 
(and shoot the developers?)
