My F8 had a lot of rpm's with libs and binary files that make up a working system. I find it to my advantage to remove these files. I used a method I thought was going to be automatic using "yum". I used "yum remove pulseaudio*" and I got a long list of things being deleted. I didn't pay much attention but discovered my entire system was killed!

When I installed F8 and after getting it set up I put the F8 DVD back into the computer and looked at all the rpm's loaded and went to those with pulseaudio in the name. There were about 5 and it was simple to erase them if you picked the right ones first. I used no "rpm -e --nodep" and they all are gone. I then had a total "update" and I looked at /var/log/yum.log and see no more pulseaudio updates. This may have been because I erased the original ones.

if you dont want to use pulseaudio regress to Fedora 7. its that simple instead of trying to to do inexperienced surgery on F8

I am not a Power User of Fedora, but I still have a percentage of the mental ability from my younger years where I made several Million Dollars. The way I did this is clear. I wanted Skype to work but it was still effected by pulseaudio!

I then went back to an old message from Nigel of 2007-12-23 and found out what he took out. He used "yum remove filename" but I used #rpm -i filename to the same effect. Skype now works like it should.
