Unfortunately, yes, though not necessarily with mp3 files only. My F10
system also suffers from "snap, crackle and pop" syndrome with all audio
reproduction. My MB is an ASUS K8N, and pulseaudio is working perfectly
with my F9 system using the same hardware.

I sincerely don't know where the blame really lies but there are several
remedies already offered. One is removing alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, the
other is editing /etc/pulse/default.pa
(http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=206868 ), and the third
was published just yesterday on this list by Francois Patte under the
title of "Re: sound on fedora 10[SOLVED(?)]".
I haven't tried any of these yet but I'm somewhat perplexed by the fact
that now that F10 has been available for 4 months, the problems with
audio are still there. Isn't anybody writing bug reports any longer? I
would have, but I've just had F10 installed a couple of weeks.
