Description Christian Kirbach 2008-01-27 17:45:25 UTC 
RB causes 20 CPU wakeups per second when idle, and also when playing media.

What's that timer used for? Can we reduce that a bit?
We really don't want to waste power.

screenshot shows powertop, depicting processes causing CPU wakeups.
RB wakes up 20 times a second from do_nanosleep()

This is probably rhythmbox waking up your sound card.
