229427 - esd slowly takes up CPU if flash and xmms are run at the same time

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

If I'm running XMMS and I start playing flash games with sound, then later close
the window with the flash, esd still takes up large amounts of processor time.
Generally, the longer I play games the more CPU it takes up (I've had it up to
50% of my P4 2.00 GHz), but my suspicion is that it's not just time or number of
sounds played, but number of /different/ sounds played, since playing the same
game for long periods only brings it to around 3%. If Mozilla or XMMS is quit
completely, the problem goes away.

bug 58339 was about mozilla hanging when loading flash, looks related.

I'm a relative newbie at linux, but I can do any sort of testing needed as long
as I'm told pretty much exactly what to do. (RH9)

I said before that if XMMS was quit, the problem went away, but that's not quite
true. If XMMS is quit, the cpu usage goes back down to normal; however, if it's
started back up, the problem returns. If Mozilla, though, is quit and restarted,
the problem really /is/ gone.
