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

[Greg]

killall -9 wesnoth works.

I have had the 100% CPU usage since I started using Wesnoth 1.6 and
Jaunty. (Prior to Jaunty I used wesnoth 1.4/1.5 and Ibex with no
problems). I have been playing wesnoth on Ubuntu since Hoary (possibly
Warty) with no problems. I thought the CPU usage problem was a wesnoth
issue, I might install Ibex again just to see how wesnoth 1.6 plays on
it. However, I suspect that it will run perfectly.

The 100% CPU usage was annoying, but easy to ignore. However, with the
stable version of Koala, not only do I have the 100% cpu usage, sound
fails, and the game refuses to close without a killall -9 wesnoth.

The "disabling sound, restarting, starting a game, enabling sound" trick
works for me. Not sure how long it will hold, but it's better than
nothing.

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
