Have you removed PulseAudio? No, not disabled... Warning, some other things may 
stop working, but if what you need works it may be a lesser evil. FC10 could be 
made to work with PA if you wasted^H^H^H^H^H^Hspent enough time onthe config, 
and FC11 has taken away the sliders. I have been unable to get sound working at 
all on FC11, I just have put that on my personal blocker list for installing 
FC11 on a machine which needs sound.
