Dear list

Could you please advice me in how to get sound within GNOME without
pulseaudio, e.g. with ALSA/ESD?

I'm using Fedora 11 with all updates installed. If I do 'yum
groupinstall "Gnome Desktop Environment", GNOME works with the screen
reader orca and espeak (I need the screen reader because I'm blind).
If I then do 'yum remove pulseaudio', 6 packages is beeing
uninstalled, and I cannot get any sound from within GNOME. How do I
fix that (other than reinstaling pulse, of couse)?

Lars
