SOLVED - Anyone got sound with Intel ICH10 chipset? (stopped after F13 upgrade)

[Graham TerMarsch]

Ok... I've *finally* managed to figure out what's going on here...

In the end, turned out to be a bug in GStreamer, and that *downgrading* to the 
previous version of the RPM fixed everything up for me.

The bug in question turns out to be:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=603496

which is also covered over on Gnome BZ as:
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621566

After downgrading from:
    gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.23-1
to:
    gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.21-2
everything works *GREAT* again.  FYI, the "0.10.21-2" version is the one that 
ships on the Fedora 13 ISO image; it shouldn't be hard to hunt down.

After downgrading, all of my sound problems went away... stuff using Phonon as 
the back-end works like it shound, and Amarok plays song after song after song 
without a single stutter at all.

Yay!
