kmix uses 100% cpu after playing sound for a minute or so. Here's an strace: https://paste.kde.org/p6drzs5ex The resource temporarily unavailable errors at the start happen when I click on chrome to start playing a youtube video (it happens whenever I click on another window and it causes a focus switch) The 100% cpu usage starts at the brk calls. It ends with the resource temporarily unavailable errors at the end, a minute or so after stopping audio playback. Reproducible: Always I just upgraded to kubuntu 15.10. kmix --version gives: Qt: 4.8.6 KDE Development Platform: 4.14.13 KMix: 4.6RC1 There's another audio volume widget in the panel as well, with a plasma5 style popup (I think it's this one: http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/plasma-pa). I killed kmix, and now everything is fine. I don't know why kmix is needed at all.
Reported for old version, original paste.kde.org file unavailable.
