I certainly get my login sound but I have been a little confused about not seeing samples in the cache.... although this is no doubt due to me restarting pulseaudio since logging in (I generally don't log out/in much provided my suspend is behaving..). I'll let you know. One other thing for fedora package (not sure if it applies) is ESD autospawn. I've had to ship a /etc/esd.conf with "auto_spawn=0" in it otherwise libesound will try to run /usr/bin/esd by default (which is obviously symlinked to esdcompat). Alternative would be to hack libesound to make no_autospawn default to 1 but somehow the config file seemed less hacky and didn't change the defined behaviour of libesound. I've not looked (stolen) at the fedora rpm for a while so this may not apply to you but figured it was worth mentioning :) Col
