Polypaudio, a networked sound serverPolypaudio, a networked sound serverPosted Jun 1, 2006 10:01 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304)In reply to: Polypaudio, a networked sound server by rjw Parent article: Polypaudio, a networked sound server The plural of anecdote is not data, but I've found polypaudio to have substantially lower CPU consumption than esound, not least because esound tended to go into CPU-hogging endless loops. polypaudio 0.8+ now uses liboil for many tight inner loops, which should one hopes reduce this problem.

When one considers that the people working on that decision probably want to make good choices, it is more than a side story, although it may merit more investigation.
Polypaudio, a networked sound server Posted Jun 1, 2006 17:46 UTC (Thu) by edgewood (subscriber, #1123) [Link] I believe nix's comment about anecdotes referred to his own experience with Polypaudio, not Ubuntu's.
Polypaudio, a networked sound server Posted Jun 5, 2006 16:43 UTC (Mon) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Indeed it did. Ubuntu's experience is at least a much more *widely-experienced* anecdote. :)
