[mythtv-users] mythtv audio stuttering on 720p material afterupgrade to Fedora 9

[Joe Henley]

Mark,

I did this some time ago on Fedora 8.  My notes should apply (with some 
judicious tweaking) to Fedora 9.

The basis for my efforts was from here:
http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/rhsound.html

The steps I followed were:
-1- Rename (add "-orig") to cripple:	/etc/pulse
					/etc/pulse/default.pa
					/root/pulse-cookie
					/home/<user name>/.pulse-cookie
-2- Run   rpm -qa | grep "pulse"   and   rpm -qa | grep "pa"    to find 
the stuff loaded for pulse audio.  Remove it via yum ("yum remove xxx"), 
one item below per run:
			pulseaudio
			alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
			pavucontrol
			pulseaudio-utils
			gstreamer-plugins-pulse
			pulseaudio-core-libs
			akode-pulseaudio
This leaves:	libflashsupport
		pulseaudio-libs
		akode-pulseaudio
To remove these would take too many other dependencies.

IIRC, there were subsequent notes on several sites that removing only 
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio was enough.  I'm not certain that "I recall 
correctly" and even if I do, it might not be enough for Fedora 9.  But 
I'd probably try that first to see if it (alone) works.  Besides, since 
you'll eventually need to do it, there's no harm.

Good luck.
