hi,
I am observing very strange behaviour with amarok.when amarok is playing a song the cpu usage will be about 5-7% but if i pause the song cpu usage will reach to 25%.I am using the amarok 1.2beta4 and observed same behaviour with beta3 too.my system info is as follows

Fedora core 3 woth kde 3.3.2
amd athlon xp 2600+
1 GB pc2700 DDR
using gstreamer engine

There\'s already a bug report about high CPU usage of amarok+gstreamer when amarok is in idle mode.
Maybe you want to add your observation to that report as it seems it is related to the same problem.

i dont have gstreamer installed and i have the same problem.
