Public bug reported:
When playing music using gstreamer & alsa, the cpu usage is higher then
expected compare to other configuration.
Step to reproduce :
gst-launch filesrc location='any.mp3' ! mad ! audioconvert ! alsasink
With great help of gstreamer and alsa developers we manage to identify
the problem come from the dmix'ed default device in alsa. To completely
fix the problem, I add the following line in /etc/asound.conf
defaults.pcm.dmix.rate 44100
The result is starting from a 17% cpu usage to 3%.
The conclusion is Alsa are not using the right sample rate in dmix.
