It would be a great help to those of us who try to give user support.  I'd even put it on my own web space and direct folk to it, if that would help.

There's a lot of good information on the PulseAudio project pages themselves:

http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/AboutPulseAudio
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/FirstSteps
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ

Maybe someone would be interested in summarising some of this and adding Fedora-specifics on the Fedora wiki to make it a bit less intimidating for novice users?

I think documentation would be great, but what really intimidates novices is the fact that

PA, in a lot of scenarios, simply doesn't work (at all or as expected) and many don't stay and

fiddle with the settings or whatnot, they just switch to another distro. So the first step

is to make an audio system that works ok, then document it.
