FWIW, I see something which seems to be the same in plain Fedora 12 as well. pulseaudio-0.9.21-4.fc12.i686 "paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" hangs, while it works fine with aplay. That has tricked me a number of times to conclude that PA had stopped working while it actually was working just fine ... except for this. /Mads
