No promises but I've made a note on my ever expanding to-do list. :)

Yes, I did a month or two ago.

I would recommend that first you try disabling, but not un-installing
pulseaudio (see my earlier post in this thread on how to do this).
Also, don't try the same audio app over and over when you are testing.
Different apps work differently. I would suggest you try each of the
following:

1. A media player which uses phonon - e.g. amarok. (In this case there
are a couple of issues, phonon on linux has two backends - gstreamer
and xine.) On my home PC I have problems with the xine backend - "yum
remove phonon-backend-xine" fixes things for me. Also, make sure
you've got all the gstreamer plugins installed. That involves
installing rpmfusion, doing "yum search gstreamer-plugins", and
installing at least the "good", "bad" and "ugly" rpms.
2. A media player which has built-in decoders - e.g. vlc. When I say
built-in, it relies on ffmpeg for its decoding AFAIK.
3. The flash plugin within firefox - I don't know what backend it uses
but I've found it often works when nothing else does!

I'd suggest you try each of those with and without pulseaudio and it
might give you some clues as to where the problem is. PITA I know but
I've been through it all! :)

HTH, Chris.
