Comment 11 for bug 344057

I still have this problem on an up-to-date Jaunty.

Not sure what "jaunty's -11.38" means... but I THINK it means kernel. My kernel rev is 2.6.28-11.42 (386).

"cpulimit.c: Received request to terminate due to CPU overload." is the exact error.

Some other notables:
Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

I'm streaming audio to this computer via another system running mpd, using the standard gnome-installed controls to advertise the audio sinks via avahi. No custom settings in /etc/pulse.

I don't see any cpu spikes around the problem, and I'm not doing ANYTHING else with the box. It's running the desktop, but no applications (save applets) are running. No significant background tasks are running either (but a sshd that's letting me run 'top').

When running top, pulseaudio seems to eat 6-9% of the cpu when playing music.
