Looks like the dreaded alsa-plugins-pulseaudio capture bug (which is triggered by the PortAudio update because it now finally supports PulseAudio). See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478311 and https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2008-11952 .
The submitter confirmed on IRC that the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio update from updates-testing fixes this. Closing as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 478311 ***
