Unfortunately, not true. There appear to be problems with the new Pulseaudio sound mixer that FC8 installs by default - some references online with various remedies. Unfortunately, it appears to be not-just-Pulseaudio, but Gstreamer is doing something odd. I haven't yet tried to track this down, but the default FC8 sound config tools will play test sounds (so the audio subsystem works at some level), but the gnome sound config tool won't: gconfaudiosink: Internal GStreamer error: state change failed. grrrr. As said, haven't tried to track this down yet. FWIW, I'm running 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 #1 SMP x86_64 and the repackaged nvidia drivers from the livna repo. It's enough to make me think about switching to another distro. Apologies to the list for being somewhat off-topic.
