Tinkerboard - hassio_audio stuck at 100% CPU

[oscarcarlsson]

Describe the issue you are experiencing

I installed glances on a whim and discovered that the hassio_audio addon is using 100% of one cores, which feels unnecessary on such a small machine.

I took a look at the addon logs and this message is repeated again and again:

I: [pulseaudio] client.c: Created 17 "Native client (UNIX socket client)"
I: [pulseaudio] protocol-native.c: Client authenticated anonymously.
D: [pulseaudio] protocol-native.c: Protocol version: remote 35, local 34
D: [pulseaudio] protocol-native.c: SHM possible: no
D: [pulseaudio] protocol-native.c: Negotiated SHM: no
D: [pulseaudio] protocol-native.c: Disabling srbchannel, reason: No SHM support
I: [pulseaudio] client.c: Freed 17 "pactl"
I: [pulseaudio] protocol-native.c: Connection died.

This is what pactl info gives me, in case it's interesting:

This is most likely an audio plug-in issue. There have been reports of high CPU load already: home-assistant/plugin-audio#60

OK, closing (or merge) this in that case. My Tinkerboard is still stuck at 100% CPU if it matters.

Also, thanks for your work with this OS!
