Bug Description
When I load up paprefs, all the networking options are greyed out and unable to be selected.
the only one option in paprefs that shows up as selectable is the virtual output device in the last tab.
I have tried manually editing default.pa and pulseaudio networking works fine.

Description of problem:
My network is flooded by pulseaudio traffic. Options for turning off this traffic in paprefs are greyed out.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
paprefs- 0.9.9-4. fc12.x86_ 64 (current)
How reproducible:
Allways
Steps to Reproduce:
Run paprefs in a shell as normal user or root!
Actual results:
Nothing can be done, except choosing "Add virtual output device for simultaneous output on all local soundcards. It's possible to click the Close-button ;-)
Expected results:
None options should be greyed out.
Additional info:
Same goes for a 32 bits system I tested.
This problem seems to occur in Debian and other distroes as well. I think http:// bugs.debian. org/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 531251 describes the problem well. Looks like paprefs is not updated. It uses compiled inn paths to find which PulseAudio modules to service. The version is part of the path (in my case /usr/lib64/ pulse-0. 9.21/modules) . Paprefs has to include this path at compile time.
I haven't really checked that this is the case in Fedora 12. Anyway, my versions are pulseaudio- 0.9.21- 2.fc12. x86_64 and paprefs- 0.9.9-4. fc12.x86_ 64 (rpms).
