The reason I'm asking, is that when I boot, right before I get the "Setting hostname" message, I get a "pop" in the speaker. I am almost 100% sure I did not get this pop in earlier kernel versions (ie. those shipped with Fedora 8). But I've had this happening with all of the latest kernels (probably since my sound problems started in Fedora 9). If I'm not mistaken, the only thing that happens before the hostname is set, is udev starting.
That would be the kernel (well, ALSA, really) module loading and initializing the sound card.
