Hello, Everyone
When I tried this:
[root at afolkey2 steve]# yum list | grep -i pulse

I got this:
akode-pulseaudio.i386                    2.0.1-9.fc8            installed
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i386             1.0.14-5.fc8           installed

pulseaudio-utils.i386                    0.9.7-0.17.svn20071017 installed

So, I did this:
yum remove pulseaudio* 

When I clicked "y", this was the result:

Is this ok [y/N]:

I, for one, have not removed pulseaudio as of yet :)
