I have the same problem on Fedora 11 following the recent update. Last 
week I could listen to MP3s in Amarok at least, this week nothing. 
Strangely, I get the start-up sound when entering KDE and then no more 
sound from anything.

Xine is the only backend in the list.


In the System Settings -> Multimedia -> Audio Output pane the only 
device listed now is Pulseaudio. Previously, my Midiman Delta soundcard 
was also listed and when I selected that I had sound. Selecting 
Pulseaudio has never resulted in working sounds, even before last week. 
Only it's now no longer possible to select anything else.
