Try aplay -lLv to see what alsa thinks is available.

Then aplay -Dplughw:0,0 some.wav to see if you can play directly through
alsa.
Yes, that works but only as root.
I saw problems with esound being automatically enabled in F8 when it was
in rawhide.
esdctl off
I also needed nothing that pulseaudio provided and couldn't get it to
work. I admit I didn't
try very hard. ;-)
yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
If it works after this you know it is pulseaudio related and can go from
there.
If it comes up with another error you can search yum packages to see if
it is
available
yum list all | grep -i "part_of_packagename" e.g. pulse or alsa, etc.
Didn't remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio yet. Any more suggestions?
