This move was made before test 1 came out. The logic was to take away 
the oss sound drivers, so reports would be filed for problems with the 
alsa sound drivers.
With no fallback for oss, alsa bugs need reported and resolved before 
FC2 is released.

I expected some sort of sound configuration tool or automatic soundcard 
detection and configuration. The drivers are there. Getting the 
sound-drivers loaded is however not an automated task yet. (Unless I 
missed some new trick for kudzu and system-config-soundcard of recent days).

I had one message that posted twice awhile back. One message had 
fedora-test-list in the address twice. The duplicate only had 
fedora-test-list addressed once. I figured it was some replicator virus 
or something. (JK)
