I believe it was the removal of the kde-pulse package.  But that was so far 
back up the log now that I won't put my hand anywhere near the good book when 
I say that.  Something pulled kde-settings-pulseaudio back in and I've had 
some wierd, total distortion sound lately on some sites, so I just nuked that 
puppy again.  And both foxnews and cnn are now playing good again.
