Pulseaudio probably is the future but that doesn't change the current reality that it causes problems for many people and there isn't much upside to have it installed. The only reason for wanting people to use it now is to get bug reports. Considering the complex interactions between it and ALSA what are the odds of getting usable bug reports from new users? So can anyone point out a downside to uninstall being the first recommendation for such users? This really should be in the Fedora release notes. "PulseAudio is still experimental and does not work for everyone. If you are not a developer and experience sound problems we recommend you first remove the pulseaudio package and log out and back in. No software currently in the Fedora repositories will fail if PulseAudio is removed." -- John M. http://www.beau.org/~jmorris This post is 100% M$Free!
