So, you can rule out the recent kernel update?

Or to ask differently, since your list of updates does not contain
a kernel, you are 100% sure the culprit is one of the listed updates?

Is rhythmbox the music player you refer to?

What happens if you downgrade? For example, to the original one from
Fedora 11 or a different one found within koji web? It's not many
updates that are related to audio.

All I know is that the kernel-2.6.29.6-213.fc11 has touched ALSA,
and while it has improved ALSA for some of us, it may have a bad
impact on other users. Who knows?

Instead of moaning about the regression you see, try a few older
packages to find out. At least the previous kernel ought to be
a very quick test for you.
