[Openal-devel] just calling ALutInit(0,0) costs 20% of CPU

[jviklaus]

Hello everyone, 
I went to search a bit more on this, and found that an infinite loop with no
pause is done in the file alsa.c of the library, 
within the function :
        static ALuint ALSANoMMapProc(ALvoid *ptr);
the function is launched by a thread launched during the initialization
(ALutInit)
this function watches if a new sound has arrived and sent it to the alsa
layer,
the fact is even if there is nothing to play the loop is running, 
so it requires a lot of memory..
Is this normal ?
