I am running into consistent issues with the sound on my fedora 13 system. I want to fix this, and want others that run into these issues to be able to do so as well.
I have done the searching and haven't come across anything specific and therefore find myself here.
Issues:
1. If I leave Listen (Have a better recommendation for a audio manager/player under gnome) on for some time, after awhile it stops playing music, this is usually after a few hours. Sometimes if I close it/kill it I am still able to play music when I restart the app, others times it will not play any audio, or the song position indicator will not move.
2. Usually after the audio stops working, and I kill pulseaudio, I run 'gnome-volume-control' and under the hardware tab, where there used to be two devices there is now one. The device that disappears is my standard analog out audio card. The device that is left is an disabled HDMI that I don't use.
3. At what appears to be random times audio will work in Listen/VLC, but then will not work in flash. And then out of nowhere a flash ad starts screaming "you won" or whatever.
rebooting fixes all three until it happens again.
Here is some dmseg output on audio from bootup

I am running a 64-bit, 12gb of ram intel i7 930. Radeon HD 5770 (Any advice on which drive to use or syncing to vblank).
I can get you whatever config files/error logs you need. I just don't know much about this multimedia stuff, and am getting tired of having to reboot to fix this.
