Run an 'lsmod' and see if alsa is listed (or anything with 'snd' in the 
used by column).  I'm nowhere near an FC5 box with sound, as my laptop 
is Gentoo and all my FC boxes are servers, so I'm not sure what I should 
be seeing on that front.  I doubt seriously that FC's implementation of 
also would be THAT different from any other distro.
