Somewhere around the time I upgraded most of my Linux machines to FC3 sound from many of the desktop apps (e.g., the sound clip for announcing the arrival of new mail in Thunderbird) became horribly garbled and distorted. Since it happened on every machine upgraded, including some widely varied hardware (including at least one laptop), I was pretty confident that this wasn't a problem caused by flaky hardware, and that the problem would be widely reported and corrected before too long. I'm still confident about ruling out broken hardware, but I'm a little puzzled that the problem has not been corrected in the Fedora distro yet. I understand[1] that the bug is in the esound package, and that it has been corrected in version 0.2.36, released four months ago (FC4 currently has 0.2.35). Does anyone know if there are plans to bump up esound in FC4 any time soon?

Since no one else responded to my question, I'll do it myself. FC4 has finally picked up esound 0.2.36, which corrects the sound distortion problems.
