i have reverted to 2.6.27-0.370.rc8.fc10.i686 and issues have
disappeared (not sure, but at least Rhythmbox plays fine..for the time
being): I am reverting also to the laptop to same kernel.....I will
not file any other bug !!! sorry..as you know situation on multimedia
is poor(sound speed is well known, isn't it?) , especially if you have
an Intel chips, as I have both on desktop and laptop.
What is wrong between 2.6.27-0.370.rc8.fc10 and following kernels is
out of my skill, I am an humble tester(FHC=Fedora humble tester), not
a IT guru... :-(.
