I was able to solve this by setting my ~/.asoundrc config file to:

–

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm {
        type dmix
	ipc_key 1024
	slave {
		pcm "hw:0,0"
		rate 44100
	}
    }
}

–

This caused my CPU usage to drop from ~30-40% to 2-4%.

Simply run:

sudo apt-get install lastfm

That’s it, it works flawlessly and it consumes about 10-12KiB/s of your bandwitdh. Pretty cool, right? Now configure it with your last.fm account details and enjoy Last.fm Radios on your Linux box.
