(OK, I'm very sure you don't speak for the Fedora Project) I discount most of what you say. Second, I know that within the Fedora KDE release pulseaudio is installed by default. But, unlike GNOME one can easily dispense with pulseaudio with KDE installed from the start. Third, sound worked just fine on my VM's prior to an update. Others have had their issues with pulse audio even without VMware. IMHO, pulseaudio is a work in progress. Last, but not least, these are my observations. I don't/didn't suggest it was any particular entities problem. Yet, I have come to the conclusion that life without pulseaudio is my preferred path. And, since GNOME seems (unless I can keep it from pulling in PA) to have requirements for pulseaudio life is better off without GNOME. Again, these are my observations and my conclusions. As time goes on, I will revisit them. -- Yow!
