FWIW, I'm running F9 (w/ pulseaudio) and everything seems to be working
great. I have banshee running at the same time as a few games and it
Just Works (TM). Not sure what issues you were running into. Adobe
Flash works fine (if you install libflashsupport). I don't use Skype on
this computer, so I don't know if that works.

I upgraded from Fedora 7 to Fedora 8 via yum upgrade method a week or so after F8 came out and pulseaudio worked perfectly for me. I've been able to use to to mute games (like CrackAttack) while I listen to Rhythmbox. Perhaps something in the yum upgrade method just works better than a fresh install or a disc upgrade? I don't know, but I haven't had any problems with it at all. Nor have I had problems with it on my Ubuntu 8.04 machine either. Perhaps people who are complaining about pulseaudio have a red herring on their hands? Maybe something changed that no longer supported their audio card at the same time that pulseaudio was introduced?
Any time you're using anything but OSX on Apple hardware it's going to be tough because you could have a nearly infinite configuration of hardware, so what works for me and what works for Jonathan, above, may not work for you. However, I'm here to tell you that it worked from day one for me. (And I've really enjoyed it!)
