Hey Y'all,
Recently my sound has been misbehaving. The issue exists when I play sound using Rhythmbox, Totem Movie Player, or even Youtube video in Firefox or Chrome. The sound stutters and drops out. Sounds very rough. On Youtube the sound will eventually just die and can not be restarted until the browser is shut down and restarted.
I've had issues related to Repo Forge packages in the past but there are no Repo Forge packages on my system.
[mlapier@mushroom ~]$ rpm -qa | grep rf [mlapier@mushroom ~]$
Does anyone out there have some magic incantations to make Yum re-install the sound system?

Note that sound on this system has been working correctly since I installed CentOS many months ago. This problem started only within the last week or two.

I've noticed that when I try to erase gstreamer it wants to remove 137 packages due to dependency. So instead, I tried to erase pulseaudio. That wanted to remove three packages for dependency:
Removed: pulseaudio.i686 0:0.9.21-14.el6_3
Dependency Removed: alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 0:1.0.21-3.el6 pulseaudio-module-gconf.i686 0:0.9.21-14.el6_3 pulseaudio-module-x11.i686 0:0.9.21-14.el6_3
Then when I re-installed pulseaudio:
No package pulseaudio-module available.
Installing: alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 1.0.21-3.el6 base pulseaudio.i686 0.9.21-14.el6_3 updates pulseaudio-module-gconf.i686 0.9.21-14.el6_3 updates pulseaudio-module-x11.i686 0.9.21-14.el6_3 updates
No changes in package revisions but it does seem to have solved my issue. Playback is now nice and smooth. No more dropouts, sputtering, stuttering, or lockups. Who would have thunk it?
Thank you to all of you who tried to help. I really appreciate it.
