Cool.  Thanks!  I don't know exactly what I did, but I have sound
working now with mythtv under Fedora 8 again.  Prior to having
pulseaudio installed, I had no sound (except that I could play sound via
the Fedora control panel), so I installed all of the pulseaudio stuff
(following http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=177587) and
got it working.  In this situation, pulseaudio buys me nothing except
for additional processes running and another layer of configuration to
deal with, so I ripped it out.  Oddly, sound stayed working...

And, yes, the only thing left is pulseaudio-libes due to mplayer and
mythvideo rpm dependencies.
