Autoaway does nothing to the sound, but it does have a timeout function with an interval of 5 seconds. The CPU spikes does seem like they appear at regular interval so maybe this is the issue?
The timeout is setup using xchat_hook_timer() and it polls the status of the screensaver - maybe something it does is disturbing the sound? towolf: Are you using X11 screensaver? (autoaway prints which screensaver it found when it starts up) If not, I doubt it's autoaways fault, since all it does in the callback for gnome-screensaver is check the state of a local boolean variable. -- Causes repetitive dropouts in playing music https://launchpad.net/bugs/57703 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
