I am using a Mac Mini, running FC4, and have had no problems with the 
sound. XMMS works like a champ! The contents of my modprobe.conf file is 
below. It *might* help you with your YDL.

Test 3 was the third release candidate of FC4. Since FC4 has been 
released, Test 3 is no longer available (but the release is! :-) )

Here is the schedule:

As you can see, Test 3 was obsoleted on 13 June 2005 when the GA became 
available.
