Tried  kernel-2.6.11-1.1268_FC4 and no improvement.

Tried alsa-utils-1.0.8-4 (and rebooted) and no improvement

Tried alsa-lib-devel-1.0.8-4.devel, alsa-lib-1.0.8-4.devel and now not
getting any sound.  xmms pops up a warning that the soundcard isn't
properly configured and the sound file that plays on login to gnome
didn't play.
