What I notice also except when the sound was not woking on most systems, the sound was muted and we could not hear anything, error probably with udev and thankfully it was fixed :), the alsa output sometimes fails and the system falls back on oss, some snd_hda.?? codecs :(

It is not a bulletproof system, but when it works, it works ok, but when it does not work, it gets trashed because people need sound to work, and it definitely gets in the way :(
See this sound stuttering with PA on in both GNOME and KDE. I use both so I won't discriminate against either one :)

FWIW - Pulseaudio worked great for me in F8 and F9 (except for some minor annoyances such play/pause lag at one point in F8, and Miro -> xine -> PA hangs in both), but in 'glitch-free' F10, on the same hardware (audigy2 card), I could't for the life of me get rid of the constant buffer underruns.
So, a 'yum remove pulseaudio' later, and a few config tweaks in kde, mplayer, and xine, and all's well again.
They say pulseaudio brings out the worst in the emu10k driver; I wonder why it waited until now.
