It works. Everything works!! The only problem was in my package which didn't ship an esd.conf file (we do not want "esd" to autospawn by default). The default config file with the real esound has a config file that does not autospawn by default so when converting to use pulse over esound I inadvertently changed the default behaviour. I only mention this in case you do not ship an esd.conf in your fedora package and have the same issue as me! I've not picked through the fedora rpms lately so it may not be an issue at all! I didn't mean this to be a discussion, just a heads up, so sorry if I've misled you a bit here :p >>> Hmm, if I remember correctly: GNOME will fallback to non-cache event >>> sound playback if a cached sample for the event is not cached.

That would be great. Certainly seems to, tho' I've only got observation here rather than facts from picking through the gnome-session stuff.
