Hmm, please try to reproduce this harder. The load limiter only becomes
active when the load produced by PA is very high for a longer time.

Hmm, so you seem to be using the tunnel stuff a lot. I am pretty sure
this is related to the tunnel stuff since we already had other reports
about that.

Could you please disable this and reproduce?

Have the Ubuntu kernel guys fixed all the
snd_pcm_delay()/snd_pcm_avail() issues in the HDA driver? i.e. stole
those pacthes from the F11 kernel? If not, please make sure they
integrate them. Without those patches cpu load issues are very likely.
