The problem is not pulseaudio it is a bug in the gnome-mplayer code. It
has been fixed in SVN. I also believe there is a patched binary for

Hi Kevin,
after installing
gnome-mplayer-0.9.8-1.20091021svn1582.fc11.i586.rpm and
gnome-mplayer-common-0.9.8-1.20091021svn1582.fc11.i586.rpm
from
, all mp3 files are
played properly with constant volume level.
Thank you very much for your advice.
