Hi Paul. Is this the only audio app that you have problems with on Fedora 8?
I removed pulseaudio audio from F8, as my sound apps stopped working, whereas
pre piklseaudio no problems.
yum remove alsa-plugin-pulseaudio (plugin may be plugins)
That will also remove the KDE component for pulseaudio IIRC.
Now see if Kaffeine works again.
You can always re-install alsa-plugin/s-pulseaudio at a later time, and figure
out how it works, not forgetting to re-install the KDE component of
pulseaudio. I intend to do this, as pulseaudio seems interesting, and you can
set volume levels for various sound apps that are using the soundcard.
At the moment though, all I want is the sound to work, as it always has, and
pulseaudio has put a spanner in the works.
I think "Incoming" is the right word here, as I'm bound to receive some flac
in suggesting dumping pulseaudio.
All the best.
Nigel.
