Can you please file a bug outlining the steps you took to diagnose this problem? Perhaps pulseaudio was run as root at one time leaving a /tmp/.esd1000 file with root permissions lying around? Or perhaps it was a MIDI problem. Please file a bug. rm -R /tmp/.esd* seems to have fixed the problem, which may have been caused by the cpu/motherboard swap. Running pulseaudio as root is not recommended unless you have a very good reason to do so. Surprising how often this comes up. I almost always recommend disabling this module in /etc/pulse/default.pa for this reason -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
