Nope it was loading and un-loading pulseaudio that screwed it up. Those 
stupid rpm's sent out by Fedora are MADE with the thing I used. You 
can't get it in your heads that Nvidia built the video hardware and they 
are good enough to provide a driver for both Windows and Linux. If it 
doesn't work on Fedora, it's a Fedora problem!
