You'd have to ask Lennart himself to know for sure, but I'm fairly
certain he didn't do the development solely as root... With any new
software, there are typically growing pains though.

No problems I've noticed on any of my own boxes, everything still
seems to work just fine. What exactly wasn't working in your case?

Yes, on a clean F8 install, there's a thingy in the Gnome Sound &
Video menu called "PulseAudio Volume Control", provided by the package
pavucontrol.
PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol) is a simple GTK based volume
control
tool ("mixer") for the PulseAudio sound server. In contrast to classic
mixer
tools this one allows you to control both the volume of hardware
devices and
of each playback stream separately.
Assuming you upgraded straight from FC6 to F8, I'd have to wager at
least some of your issues could be due to something not quite being
handled properly with skipping F7. All my clean F8 installs and F7
boxes upgraded to F8 are behaving perfectly normally with respect to
audio, anyhow.

On top of it.
