Is this the only audio app that you have problems with on Fedora 8? I removed pulseaudio audio from F8, as my sound apps stopped working, whereas pre piklseaudio no problems. yum remove alsa-plugin-pulseaudio (plugin may be plugins) That will also remove the KDE component for pulseaudio IIRC. Now see if Kaffeine works again. You can always re-install alsa-plugin/s-pulseaudio at a later time, and figure out how it works, not forgetting to re-install the KDE component of pulseaudio. I intend to do this, as pulseaudio seems interesting, and you can set volume levels for various sound apps that are using the soundcard. At the moment though, all I want is the sound to work, as it always has, and pulseaudio has put a spanner in the works. I think "Incoming" is the right word here, as I'm bound to receive some flac in suggesting dumping pulseaudio. All the best.
