Description Martyn Hare 2008-12-21 11:51:31 UTC

PulseAudio should have realtime priority, many apps such as flash cause stuttering when using large amounts of CPU - realtime priority sorts this problem in most cases.

This would need either a system-wide PulseAudio or a patch to make PA set realtime/nice before dropping privileges (ignoring /etc/security/limits.conf).

Chengshun,

 You can use the top command, the NI section should nice value, stand for realtime priority.

11.2 is out of support. As such it is hard to reproduce your problem on current software stack.
Please open a new issue if you still can reproduce it on current releases.
