Half OT:
Are you aware that you could use mpv with hardware video acceleration?
Around three weeks ago I compared mpv with and without hardware video
acceleration.
When I run 'mpv some.mp4' top showed a CPU usage >20% for mpv with
spikes up to ≈70%. When I run 'mpv --hwdec=vaapi some.mp4' top showed
CPU usage ≈10% for mpv and no mentionable spikes.
Would the following setup cause pops and
crackles?
1. Vivaldi web browser, mpv, mplayer, ... --> ALSA dmix
I uninstalled mpv for exactly this reason. Everything would work and
then after a while pops and crackles starts. When I go to top, I then
see mpv is at 100% cpu.
I uninstalled it and the pops went away.
Might solve your problem or might not. it was a problem here.
