Mine, too, up to a point.  If you're running x86_64, make sure that you've got:


alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.20-2.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-libs-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586

These are the listed software requirements:

     *  Software requirements
     * Qt 4.2.1+
     * D-Bus 1.0.0
     * libasound2 1.0.12
     * PulseAudio 0.9.10+ (optional)
     * PulseAudio 0.9.15+ (optional recommended)


My webcam isn't working with the new beta.  It stopped working a few months ago, 
probably because of a kernel update.

The only sound option available is pulseaudio server [local].  I'm unable to 
specify one sound card for the incoming ring and another for my headset.
