... and I could give even more examples of how easily a working audio
setup with different audio hardware setups is done here on an F26 system
with pulseaudio. It just works here. I simply hope that the makers of
the system are careful before applying permanent changes to that
software.
pulseaudio here:
pulseaudio.x86_64 11.1-6.fc26
$ pulseaudio --version
pulseaudio 11.1-rebootstrapped
uname -a
Linux aw17 4.13.9-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Oct 23 13:52:45 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

There are a few things here that do not not behave on the F26
system - pulseaudio doesn't seem to be part of that team ....
