Yep, that'll do it.  ;-)

What desktop environment do you use?  What is the output of:
rpm -qa '*pulseaudio*'

Does your HDMI audio work if you manually run 'start-pulseaudio-x11'?
If not, does 'pacmd info' actually print something after its run?

T.C,

I am using gnome, but have kde and xfce installed - have not tried
either of the two at this point.  

Here is the output of rpm -qa '*pulseaudio*'

pulseaudio-gdm-hooks-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64

pulseaudio-utils-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64
pulseaudio-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64

I was able to start pulse audio at the user's command line with
'pulseaudio --start' as well as start-pulseaudio-x11.   Neither of these
commands resulted in the hdmi sound interface working.  The gui of the
hdmi works fine.

Here is the trail of the output of 'pacmd info' :
