You are probably right.

That is what is happening to me. I got all my system beeps and baps
back for no apparent reason, but lost the little tune that plays on
login. ???

No need to mention it. Everybody (or at least a lot of people) are
having the same experience.

If its any consolation and it probably isn't, I remember the same pain
with the first few versions of Fedora and the CUPS printing setup. Now
printing is almost too easy. Any printer mistakes I make are because I
think it can't be this easy; there has to be a few more configuration
steps. Fedora has probably developed the easiest, smoothest printer and
networked printer server I have seen. But it took several Fedora
versions and a lot of refining by a determined maintainer.
It is the same story with networking + wireless -- it is almost there.
I believe in the end ALSA + PulseAudio is the way to go, but everybody
is going to have to work at it.
