Yea, that's the response to most NetworkManager bugs as well (only its
usually not the users fault with NetworkManager, it is the fault of
every single piece of software on the system that accesses the network,
software which never had any problems with the network service :-).

Fortunately, as long as "yum erase pulseaudio" gets alsa back the way
it was, I'm OK. It is just that, given the history of "improvements"
I wouldn't be surprised to discover fedora 11 embeds pulseaudio
in the kernel or something where a mere yum erase can't remove it.

But what I'm still left wondering is the fundamental question: "What
the devil is the problem people imagine exists which they imagine
pulseaudio solves?". I can't even get my brain wrapped around the
motivation for pulseaudio. Simply because it is possible?

Anyway, I'll keep my stick in the mud web page up to date with
everything I find about how to disable all the helpful improvements:
