no sound with real play on fedora 12

[Ralph Blach]

Mark,

I found the problem.

I started reaplay and wen to options hardware

when the also driver is selected,
For PCM device I selected

  pcm.pusle

5.1 PCM Device I selected
ctl.pulse

I found these by looking at the asound.conf
point to /etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf
the virtial pulse pcm is
pcm.pulse
and the ctl.pulse

Chip

Thanks
