When I boot up to gnome, pulseaudio and helpers are running, but they die on "first use".

Found !!! Please note that if I start the computer in level 5 I get this issue but if I start in level 5 and then I issue a startx it seems to have the sound back.. So it is not pulseaudio...but what???
and I suppose that it does happens in a very spread way....my two cents...
After updating gdm-2.23.92-4.fc10.i386 ( http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=62892 ), pulseaudio caches sound devices. This issue seems to be fixed in gdm-2.23.92-4.fc10. Then, sound is mute(pcm is mute on alsa mixer of gnome-volume-control).
I have only tje issue that capture in recording windows keeps to be disactivated every time I close the sound control window and I open it again....shall we move to a new bug???
Yes, lets close this one
