I have some problems with Flash and browser (tried Firefox and Chrome this far). If I try to look videos f.eg. from Youtube my Pulseaudio suddenly takes 80-100% of my CPU regarding to “top” and downs fps of the video to 1-2fps. Is there any workaround to make Pulseaudio work better with Flash? Also problem is that when I press full screen button on flash video, it will stay in the same size but it will be surrounded by black full screen borders. I have tried with Compiz workaround with unredirect fullscreen windows off and legacy fullscreen support on but it doesn’t work for me. My configuration is:
SW:
Opensuse 11.2 (64bit) with Gnome 2.228.2-0.1.1 (x86_64)
Alsa 1.0.23-2.8
Pulseaudio 0.9.21-59.1
Compiz 0.7.8-43.44.1 running over it
Flash-player 10.0.45.2-0.1.1
Firefox 3.6.4-1.1.7 / Chrome 5.0.375.55-47796
HW:
Intel Core2 Duo E6550
NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GTS 512MB
Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Model SB0100
Dual monitor setup
Flash is notorously bad for hogging cpu on linux especialy on 64-bit linux , if you are brave you could try installing the experimental 64-bit version of flash Adobe Labs - Flash Player 10 for 64-bit Linux but even that seems to take up a bit of cpu but I have noticed it doesn’t use as much as the nswrapper with 32bit flash.
I use Flashplayer 64bit since the first alphas. Much better than 32bit ever was. No trouble at all with youtube or whatever. Neither in FF, nor in Chrome, nor in Opera.
