Did some checking and PulseAudio is installed, but there is also an alsa olugin for pulse installed. This was done by default in the install. Suse 11.X must have had the same thing, as all programs I have tried which needed alsa have worked. Don't know if this comes from the pulse or KDE group, but it works. I would think Fedora and Mandriva would have the same thing, at least if you use KDE.
