rawhide report 20041019 shows updates to: gnome-media gnome-volume-manager selinux-policy-targeted udev
Start with looking at your mixer volumes, devices, perms, selinux audits.. I have seen any loss of sound from these, so I would think configuration first.
btw: there really is nothing to guarantee this is all you updated, just because thats what changed on rawhide.. so check your update logs for what changed.
Seems gnome-media alsa mixer does not adjusts PCM volume. Went back to -1 and adjusted PCM on OSS mixer and sound is back.
What you're saying is, that using the 'alsa' mixer which was the only one shown, you could no longer adjust PCM volume? Was this only for apps which use the OSS interface?

- Add patch to not show oss mixers
If you could no longer adjust volume on OSS PCM, thats bugzilla worthy. The mixers should have been one and the same. The bug really is in gstreamer probably, the change in gnome-media was just to 'not show' the OSS mixer that gstreamer provided.
Perhaps the alsa mixer is not handling oss emulation quite the same way the oss mixer was?
