Scott said: Serious answer--I know Roy's not an RPM distro fan, so is probably
going by hearsay in this case. (Or if he did try Fedora recently, got lucky.)
Seriously, despite the claims of Fedora and the pulseaudio developers,there is
still this all too common thread on the forums.

I thought that you were a Fedora fan. Hmm. Anyway, I did install Fedora 10, but
don't use it much... for other reasons. The sound works, so I assumed that it
was fixed and, yes, I did believe the hype. As for Ubuntu and pulse audio, I
have never had a problem, but know lots of people have. It must all depend on
your sound card and driver and thus be isolated to certain users.

I don't like and Fedora because I can't use everything that I want to due to
limited repositories and I really hate packagekit and yum. I wrote a rather
lengthy blog about my dislike of packagekit and Fedora's implementation of it.
However, Fedora is still working and I am persevering and trying to get a handle
on it.

My advice is to stick with ALSA until something better comes along. So far,
PulseAudio is a pass.
