FC8 Sound not working after kernel update

[Dean Maluski <dmaluski n1ety com>]

Just did the yum update of xen kernel on IBM Thinkpad T22.
Afterward system sounds are not playing.
XMMS wasn't working either until I went in and reconfigured from default
PCM to Soundfusion (hw:0,0) In think it was set to default PCM device.
I can go in as root and detect sound card, works.
Also as X user do test sounds OK but when I try to play system sounds
nothbing heard and no complaints in /var/log/messages.
