To the developers and those in charge of producing Fedora. *Please* when
you release Fedora 11 set all of the volume levels to maximum and play
really *loud* sounds that are recorded at really *loud* levels so that
the Fedora users can stop beating up on Pulseaudio that is default set
to not blast the cones off of their computer speakers.  ;-)

Then we call all read about the sounds being too load. <even bigger> ;-)
