Hi Craig, 

The only tests I've done involve discovering that sound doesn't work in
flash, but removing libflashsuport allows the sound to play. What can I
do to get PulseAudio working? Here is a list of the PulseAudio packages
I have installed right now:

pulseaudio-module-lirc-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386
pulseaudio-libs-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386
pulseaudio-libs-devel-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386
xine-lib-pulseaudio-1.1.15-1.fc9.i386
pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386
pulseaudio-libs-zeroconf-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386
pulseaudio-module-zeroconf-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386
pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386
pulseaudio-core-libs-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386
pulseaudio-utils-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386
pulseaudio-esound-compat-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386
pulseaudio-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386
akode-pulseaudio-2.0.2-5.fc9.i386

But, I would like to thank you for something. In the above list you
will see a reference to xine-lib-pulseaudio. I just removed *that*
package and I now get sound from my DVD movies! Thank you so very much!

PS: What do I need to do to get PA working?
