I keep reading comments on this list that one can remove pulseaudio from f9 and it will run like a normal alsa system.
I have removed alsa-plugins-pulseaudio and libflashsupport
from my f9 system, rebooted. Sound in Flash in Firefox works just fine, but aplay doesn't. If aplay doesn't work I wonder about mplayer, totem, and the other sound producing programs that I havent tested.
So, is there anything else I should be removing to get back to 'just alsa' ????
I would really like to understand what is going on here.

It was very easy for me, here is the relevant portion of my yum.log from when i removed it: Sep 20 02:09:44 Erased: alsa-plugins-pulseaudio Sep 20 02:09:44 Erased: pulseaudio-module-x11 Sep 20 02:09:44 Erased: pulseaudio Sep 20 02:09:49 Erased: pulseaudio-module-zeroconf Sep 20 02:09:49 Erased: pulseaudio-module-gconf Sep 20 02:09:50 Erased: kde-settings-pulseaudio Sep 20 02:09:50 Erased: pulseaudio-esound-compat

Thanks, I should have thought of that. I already had a 'rpm -qa | sort > rpms.list.f9' that I could have looked at...
In any case, I removed all the modules I found in the above list, rebooted, and as ME, I have no audio in either aplay nor firefox. Doing a su and trying again, I have audio both places, so it seems that there is still a permission problem somewhere.
Here is the output from aplay
[reg@deneb AU]$ aplay wheee.au

Any further thoughts??? If I could get some sound working, I could move to f9.

I can't say I know what is going on, sorry. Maybe you can get some further help at irc://freenode.net/fedora

I'm sure that there is a "proper" way to do it, but I just put the following in rc.local and sound works :
cd /dev/snd chmod 666 *

Thanks, that does it. That could be the last hook that keeps me from moving from fc6 -> f9.
Thanks again.
And, there IS a file somewhere (I cant find it at the moment) that causes some files to be set to the 'users' ownership when a new user logs in, things like console and X11 things. This probably wants to go there if I could remember where 'there' was.

You might be thinking about ConsoleKit. Not so much a file that controls such things, but a system that does.

No, there definately WAS a file. Now whether it was in Fedora, or Redhat, or Solaris, or SunOS before that, I can't say. But there was a file at one time or another. I had just assumed that it is still there, but that I can't find it.

Is it possible to just disable pulseaudio, rather then removing it. I would like to disable it when I use ekiga, but otherwise I am happy with it.
Cheers
