Right, and those are the ones that keep having the audio problem. It is
Totem and Kaffeine that are blowing up. I only mentioned mplayer as it
worked without the warning. I've checked every preference they have and
the problem continues, as Moses said, "unabated". 

Since install of Fedora 5, everything has been smooooooth. Since last
week or so, things are blowing up... so if it's a yum update thing,
others would be seeing it too, I would think. 

For all I know some space game that I installed could be the culprit. Or
the CRM-114's "Negative Function" condition from the shrapnel.
