Ah... a little version confusion here...

This morning I downloaded unstable again and tried the patch.
It wasn't working, garbled sound through pulseaudio as previously mentioned.
I worked out my pulse installation was missing a few packages (Fedora 
folk why aren't all pulse related packages named pulse-* ?)
Not sure what changed but once all the pulse pieces were in place and I 
had locked the default device to the sbxfi it all sounded great.
That was without the patch.

Just applied the patch again and everything still works.

Thank you, I had grabbed flash 10 a couple of days ago as I tried to get 
it all going.
Although it was making nice sounds it turns out it was not using pulse.
Now I have the volume control installed I can see what is going on...
Cured flash by installing libflashsupport.i386
libflashsupport.x86_64 package doesn't really help with adobe's i386 
flash. Doh.
