Hello all,     I can see that module-detect after loading module-alsa-sink sends out zeroes to the sound card ( snd_pcm_writei )even when there is no client attached to the daemon yet .. Doesnt this consumes CPU cycles unnecessarily.. Can't we do away with this ?? I agree that this feature is available in autoloaded modles but then why does Pulseaudio has to write zeroes when its module(module-alsa-sink) is simply loaded using module-detect? -- Regards, Dsk
