Someone said livna was up to kino-1.3.0, but all I can see is 1.2.0, and it 
insults our intelligence by needing that worthless POS pulseaudio.

Put me on a list so you can let me know when pulseaudio works.  Or if it now 
works in some private lab setting, how to make it work on an F8 x86 system.  
I nuked that with extreme prejudice when I installed F8, and haven't had a 
lick of trouble with my audio since.  AFAIC its just another aggravation 
foisted off on us to remind us this is a "bleeding edge" distro and that we 
should not ever expect it to "just work".
