Hi, I am using Intel's powertop [1] program to check which applications are waking up my processor unecessarily, and xmms is on top of the list. It generates around 90 wakeups per second when idle: Top causes for wakeups: 71.0% ( 93.4) xmms : schedule_timeout (process_timeout) This is a bug. When idle xmms should not wake up the cpu at all. Note that I disabled the "running" of the song title on the display, so that xmms is really doing nothing at my system, it is "ultra-idle". Does somebody in this list have a clue to solve this issue? I am not a programmer, but I guess there are some unecessary usleep()'s in the code. Carlos R. Mafra [1] http://www.linuxpowertop.org/powertop.php
