Greetings,

Fedora 10 + sound = how much time do you have?

I have enough details on this to make your head spin. I've invested at 
least six solid hours on this issue now. It began with the notorious

"How to: Fix PulseAudio and primary audio issues with Fedora 10"

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=206868


--which solved the nasty audio issue. HOWEVER, I've now arrived at a 
problem I will simply describe as (/etc/inittab):


id:5:initdefault:	# AUDIO WORKS

id:3:initdefault:	# AUDIO DOES NOT WORK


At runlevel 3 I simply do 'pulseaudio -k; pulseaudio -D' and this is 
reported in /var/log/messages:

In runlevel 5 I get audio --but I want runlevel 3 for reasons I won't 
get into here. In runlevel 5 I also get tons of these in the log...

us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to 
write! Most likely this is an ALSA driver bug. Please report this issue 
to the PulseAudio developers.
