If you get a CPU time limit abort than this can have two reasons:
1) You got an awfully slow CPU (very unlikely, if you bought your
machine in the last 10 years and is x86 or x86-64)
2) Something causes PA to enter an endless loop which causes it to eat
100% CPU.
In all the cases I managed to track down #2 is caused by a faulty ALSA
driver where poll() signalled readiness while there actually was
nothing to do. This happened with drivers which required the "multi"
libasound module, such as emu10k.
Well, 1) clearly doesn't apply to me, I'm running on Core Duo 6400.
As for 2) it is true that I have noticed PA start using 100% CPU for
a few seconds before exiting. Randomly. A lot of times I find it gone
in the morning, with no music playing during the night.
As for sound card, I'm using a bog-standard Intel Corporation 82801H
(ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02).
