I'll tag in here, rather than start a new thread at the moment. F8 sound does seem to have a few kinks to work out. On one hand, the Pulse audio is kind of neat for me - I was just trying MonkeyBubble with "Tommy" by the who playing around it. The ability to balance the two sound streams is just awesome! On the other, a fair number of my other low minded games have lost their audio feed completely. Maelstrom hangs completely after the initial splash screen, but never bringing up the main menu. Something doesn't seem quite completely baked here.
