[maemo-users] N900 power consumption

I had a look at top and "/usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --high-priority" seems to be running constantly, at around 0.2 (when idle) to approx. 32.2% cpu (when making a call).

Trying to killall tongend gives response:
killall: tongend: no process killed. 

This is right, as the /usr/bin/tongend process ID is the same after the kill command as before it.

I've used it and I don't find it too useful, unless I do nothing for that time.
