[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 442535] Re: wesnoth no sound, high cpu usage, can't quit without freezing the application

[Don Atkinson]

*grin*  Hi, klerfayt...  I just happened to check here and you wrote
just minutes ago. lol  I had Wesnoth installed already under Jaunty.
Last night I did uninstall it and re-installed it using the Synaptic
Package Manager with the same results; enabling the sound settings seems
to max out the CPU, and when it does it is very random when it occurs.
Sometimes the CPU will max out and then drop to reasonable levels before
spiking again 30 seconds later.  If I go into the System Monitor and
stop Pulse Audio then bring Wesnoth back up, I can play with little CPU
usage without a problem (without sound, of course).  I have a relatively
new Toshiba A205 laptop with 2 gigs of memory and never had a problem
playing Wesnoth before.  At this point its a puzzler, but knowing the
Ubuntu community (and the huge Wesnoth community)  I'm pretty sure an
answer is on the way.  Thanks for asking.

Status in “wesnoth” package in Ubuntu: Invalid

Bug description:
Binary package hint: wesnoth

I hear no music or sound, wesnoth freezes after trying to close the game by pressing button "quit". Removing settings folder and starting the application fresh doesn't help:
rm -r .wesnoth1.6/

It also freezes after trying to untick all sound options in sound preferences (buttons sound, music, unit sound, something else...)

At all time it attempts to use 100% cpu
