Ok, recently updated to F11 and now I'm having a few pulseaudio issues. I've gotten several error messages but I'm not always sure what specific actions cause them but I'll do my best to explain them. #1 When adjusting the volume from the Output Devices tab of pavucontrol (0.9.8) I get the following error "Connection failed: Connection terminated" #2 Unreliable audio from flash video. The default gnome volume control app has no effect on volume (from the panel). Volume control sliders from inside the Sound Preferences does work but break audio. After that I have to log out and log back in to get audio. (Maybe same as #1 but the panel app doesn't show errors?) #3 Probably related to #1 but the tabs inside the panel app are often very unresponsive and it can take a few seconds to change between tabs. volume sliders are can also be sluggish. #4 Rhythembox: glitchy audio. Panel volume control has no effect. Probably the same as #1 That's all I can think of right now. Some specs, logs, etc, below.

Is this a regression in alsa? I haven't checked but I assume the alsa under F11 is newer than what's user F10... Thanks, Richard
