[ale] video running too fast

[Jim Kinney]

Hi Evan,

Found a link to the fedoraforum site that suggests pulsaudio is a conflict.
The issue was on a Fedora13 machine, but of you upgraded from Fedora13 to
Fedora14, pulseaudio may still be lying around.

open a terminal, su to root (type "su", enter key,  then enter root
password) then enter "yum remove pulseaudio" with no quotes.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
