[José Marcos Andrade Ferraro <jmferraro@xxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

pulseaudio uses varying amounts of cpu (8 - 25%) even when there is no sound being played at all.
This happens every  time I turn mu notebook on, but simply killing it solves the issue. That means it will respawn using much  more reasonable cpu (0.1%).
The sound does work fine all the time.
