Gnome sound

[Elaine Normandy]

I saw a brief question on this topic a few days ago, but it didn't go 
anywhere.   I would like to try to get gnome sounds working on my PC. 

Card:  VT82C686 AC97 (Via Technologies)
Driver: snd-via82xx

After a reboot, I have to run system-config-soundcard to use XMMS.  
Then, playing ogg files with XMMS works fine.  I can also use the CD 
Player after setting the control with alsamixer.  The command aplay also 
works.

Nothing I seem to do with alsamixer ( or gnome-alsamixer) makes the 
gnome sounds appear.  I've noticed one curiosity in gnome-alsamixer 
where some of the controls are doubled (this seems to be in Bugzilla) . 

Any suggestions?  I use yum update every morning so my installation 
ought to be reasonably current.
