sc_trans: My sc_tranx_linux process is using a very large amount of CPU time

Question:
I am using sc_trans as my streaming source, and my sc_trans_linux process is
using a very large amount of CPU time. How do I correct this?
Answer:
The sc_trans_linux streaming source automatically re-encodes your audio files in realtime before sending them to the server, even if no changes in bit rate, sample rate, or channels are necessary.Unfortunately there is no fix for this, as this is simply how sc_trans works. If you need a solution with lower CPU requirements, we suggest switching to ices0 as your streaming source instead.
