Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

I'm using ubuntu feisty 7.04.

If you open a video when your audio device (mine is /dev/dsp) is blocked by another application, totem consumes 100% of cpu.
No errors shown

Thank you for your bug. What audiosink do you use? Different applications should be able to use the audio device

I have gstreamer0.10-alsa and gstreamer0.10-esd both installed but I don't know which one I'm using. Where can I see it?
Anyways I think I'm using alsa

I solved it killing all processes related to wine. It's strange since wine says it was using ALSA so there shouldn't be any problem, right?

you can select a sink using gstreamer-properties. Reassigning to wine if that's due to it

So I was using "Detect automatically". I configured it to use ALSA always.

Ok, it seems that I have solved it because it has not occured again. Anyways the bug is still there.

I'm guessing this is no longer a problem on Hardy due to the sound driver improvements in Wine and the use of pulse audio.
