I experienced this same issue last night and it was because snd.o wouldn't
properly load. Here are the resources I used to get past the issue.

I followed the instructions on
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Analog+Devices&card=AD1985&chip=AD1985&module=intel8x0
up to the point it does a 'make' (just after
./configure --with-cards=intel8x0 --with-sequencer=yes).

As the following page suggests do: touch include/linux/workqueue.h

Now go ahead and make/make install and continue with building the libs and
utils

Probably said that a sound module is already loaded since most likely the
i810 one was detected. The commercial one works just fine. I was having
issues with choppy sound with the ALSA driver with Quake 3 and I used the
commercial one to see if it worked.. It did work fine and fix the issue with
Q3...

The steps above should get you past the sound card issue. As for mp3 on
Fedora you still have a ways to go... See the following site for more
details.
