At this point I would think that fox is just sabatoging its own releases so it has a "reason" not to fill the "small niche's" anymore.
If it is true that they changed the music to something inappropriate for the show then I would think that this would (at least) partially prove the point.
From a marketing point of view, a December release would catch people for x-mas shopping where-as a January release catches people in the "I can't afford a can of pop" phase after x-max.
I've downloaded it off the torrents and have enjoyed what I've seen so far. But, I *will* buy it *if* it is in an unmodified format (as I must encourage more of the same). If it is modified, I'll be quite happy with my original tv-rips.
Has there been anything offical from fox on this yet?

The Fox Network and Fox Home Video are two different companies owned by the same parent company. The network has nothing to do with the home video distributor.

But, wouldn't they have the same parent company (or one is the parent of the other) that would maintain a common mentality of all the companies called fox?

Yes, like I already said, they have the same parent company. It all ends there. The only difference between Fox Home Video and Paramount Home Video, is that Fox HV has the rights to distribute material produced by Fox Studios (another company seperate from the Fox Network).
Newscorp, the Fox parent company, does not dictate the actions of either the network or the home video distributor, beyond any substantial financial issues. Cancelling a television series is up to the Fox Network, not Newscorps nor Fox Home Video. These companies have nothing to do with each other unless Fox Studios happened to produce a television series that aired on the Fox Network that Fox Home Video would now like to distribute on DVD.

From TVShowsonDVD.com:

From the producer of Angel and Firefly comes Wonderfalls with 9 never aired episodes. Although a recent graduate of Brown University, Jaye Tyler decides to ignore her degree, live in a trailer and work at a tourist gift shop in Niagara Falls called Wonderfalls--much to the despair of her well-to-do family. But Jaye's aimless life takes a startling turn after a lion figurine begins talking to her. Her family calls it an "episode," but Jaye knows better. Fearing for her sanity, Jaye nevertheless starts doing exactly what an increasing number of inanimate objects tell her to do and is amazed when her outrageous actions begin changing people's lives in unexpected ways.
Fox's failed series from 2003 hits DVD on February 1st in a three disc set containing all 13 episodes of the series, including 9 where weren't aired in the initial broadcast run.
