Thanks for the followup! I'm off Fedora for the moment, but I'll hop back and try the newer version soon. I'll also give your advice in #1 a shot. Regarding the "always visible event slider": that's very good for the system events, but the problem comes when we install programs that do not subscribe to Pulseaudio's event categories, but still play short event-like sounds. (ex., Skype). Some sort of minimum timeout for removing a stream, even after it's finished playing perhaps (ex., all streams stick around at least 30 seconds before disappearing) could remedy that.
