Gene,

Does your sound slider snap back to zero when you adjust it?  It does 
here on a clean/un-updated install of FC2T2 x86_64 for both a user and 
root.  Sound is not working on my K8V on the selinux-enable install 
although it is working fine on the selinux-disabled install.  Sorta 
looks to me like this problem is that the audio output level is being 
forced to zero...will test further when up2date is completed...although 
I am wondering if libselinux is going to cause problems since I find no 
revised x86_64 version anywhere.
