In my case if it is making sound I can't hear it with the volume max'd 
and normally that would blast me out of the room :-).

I think you are correct that it is something related to ALSA as the OSS 
sound in FC1 was just fine.

In Knoppix I didn't even try the soundcard detection as, well, it just 
worked...

Thanks for the feedback Gustavo.
