My F8 had a lot of rpm's with libs and binary files that make up a

"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.
