Don't yet use gnome-media :-)
In firstboot, I don't have any sound.
The reason is a little complicated.
sound card 1 : snd_via82xx. There is no speaker connected to it. In
short, I don't use this card. 
sound card 2 : snd_ens1371. I use this card.

As pointed in #134321 s-c-sc unmute only the first card (only if you
click on "Play test sound" #134318).

So :
"Play test sound" card 1 : mixer correctly set but no sound because no
speaker.
"Play test sound" card 2 : sound played but s-c-sc only unmute the first
card. => no sound.

An extract of /etc/asound.state :
state.V8233Pre { # card 1
        control.2 {
                name 'Master Playback Volume'
                value.0 23 => useless, no speaker
                value.1 23 => useless, no speaker
        }
state.AudioPCI { # card 2
        control.2 {
                name 'Master Playback Volume'
                value.0 0 => Ooops
                value.1 0 => Ooops
        }

I take sometime to hack s-c-sc and fix its bugs :

Not a great work, I am not a python programmer. The "hack" is too huge
for FC3 and incompatible with Linux 2.4 (RHEL 3).

I already state in fedora-config-list that s-c-sc is quite broken. In
short, the maintainer say me "go away" (or some like) and request me to
file known bugs.
It's done since 2004-10-01 :
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134339
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134321
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134318

There are other bugs but not serious.
