KDE sound delays (solved hopefully)

[Colin J Thomson]

Hi,

I have been suffering for a lag in the sound events for a few releases now 
which seemed to be getting progressively worse, up two/three seconds at times.

I thought I would give kde 4.9.90 a test so installed F18 RC and in the 
meantime updated to 4.9.95. Alas the problem was still there.

Over the past months I had been working to try and find a solution to this and 
scouring kde.bugs but never came up with an answer until now.

Today I read that Pulseaudio 3.0 had been released so I rebuilt the F19 RPM 
and success! the terrible delays have gone :-) still testing but it looks 
promising.

Maybe this will help others who have such bad delays in the sound events.

See "pulseaudio-backport" repo on
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/

I've already put up pa-3.0 builds for f18.  may end up doing f17 too 
sometime, we'll see.

Thanks also Rex for your work. I've upgraded my F18 pulseaudio pkgs. 
Seems ok for now, no more delay when playing sounds.
Happy Christmas indeed.
