Sound issues

I'll try to play another song or another radio station and I'll hear a second or so of music, then a pause then a split second and nothing else.  During this time, the elapsed time for the song stays at 0:00.  I've figured out that if I type pulseaudio -k I get the following:

I have exactly same issues....and tnx for the post that clarifies to
me what happens.
The problem is: what is the component to be filed against in
bugzilla??? pulseaudio??
Furthermore I find that some problem can arise from the fact that
pulseaudio is in rawhide, while most of tools for multimedia (i.e. mp3
codecs) are out of those boundaries....
For your information latest kernel (.13) makes a better job about multimedia.
