Disabling Pulseaudio is very easy on Fedora Installs, by simply removing the package, alsa-plugins-pulseaudio. By doing that, your sound apps will now use Alsa directly. If you have KDE installed, removing the above package, will also remove, kde-settings-pulseaudio. If you use audio apps that use SDL, add the following line to /home/user/.bashrc , which will remove the hack that SDL programs need to use Pulseaudio. unset SDL_AUDIODRIVER I'd warn against doing a Gung-Ho removal of all Pulseaudio rpm's, as one of them removes a whole bunch of packages as dependencies. Someone on the Fedora list did just that, and messed up the sound completely. Can't remember it was with Fedora8, or 9. All the best.
