Why?  My sound card works great with anything I have tried.  5 channel 
sound that is better than my home stereo (old stereo that it).  I have 
no issues at all.  I cannot think of a single application that doesn't 
work.  Once I installed the nVidia drivers all was well.  The nVidia 
drivers were for the network ports as well.

I update my FC1 to ALSA and love it.

I am waiting for FC4 before I do an upgrade.  I just haven't had time 
to move to FC2 or FC3.
