http://blog.devhen.com

One of the great new features in Fedora 8 is the inclusion of the PulseAudio sound server. PulseAudio allows multiple streams of audio to be played at once, eliminating the worry of having your sound card locked up by another running program.

Setting up PulseAudio is very easy. Read on for instructions.
