I wasn't sure it was the latest firefox or pulseaudio, so I watched some video offline with mplayer, ffplay and vlc and they all had troubles, apparently due to pulseaudio. I did a yum remove pulseaudio and now everything seems fine, both in firefox and offline. Incidentally, after uninstalling pulseaudio I did rpm -qa | grep -i pulseaudio pulseaudio-libs-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64 pulseaudio-utils-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64 so I still have some leftovers around. I tried then yum remove pulseaudio* but then it wanted to uninstall what looked like half of my system, including of course the multimedia packages (mplayer, vlc, totem) but also packages like java-openjdk, or system-config-printer, system-config- keyboard, etc. which, for the life of me, I don't understand what they can possibly have to do with pulseaudio. There has to be a better way to package these things. Long story short, I uninstalled pulseaudio alone, but had to keep pulseaudio-libs and pulseaudio-utils for dependency reasons. Again, things sound better now. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
