Someone with more knowledge of the differences between the stock
kernel and the Fedora will have to comment on it, but I wounder if
there is an option missing in your compile, or a patch that Fedora
makes, that is giving you problems with Pulse Audio? PA is supposed
to be a user-space daemon but maybe it needs hooks into the kernel
for information, or operation...
I used to build all my own kernels, but lately I have gotten lazy
and used the Fedora kernels, except for a couple of old RedHat
servers and an old Sparc Station II.
