Also, I did a "yum upgrade" from F13 to F14, and since I (obviously) always compile my own kernels, I can say that both the kernel and the libfrashplayer.so binary stayed constant over the upgrade - yet the problem did not exist in F13.

So while it may be somehow tied to the kernel or to libflashplayer, it is definitely something in Fedora-14 that triggers the problem.

On a suggestion from Takashi Iwai I tried to "downgrade" alsa-lib to the F13 version (I say "downgrade", because the version number seems to be the same in F13 and F14), and that didn't make any difference.

So it isn't the kernel, it's not libflashplayer.so, and it doesn't seem to be alsa-lib. If it's not pulseaudio, then what else is involved in sound generation?
