Nigel:  Yeah.  Everything's unmuted.  I've got an email out to Heather 
to try the aplay command:
aplay -v xyz.wav
Hopefully, this will confirm it's hitting the sound card.  Will post 
results when she responds.

She had power supply go out, and when she got the computer back (friend 
replaced it), sound was not working any more.  She checked to make sure 
physical connections set, and it looked like everything was as it should 
be.  She gets scratchy noise through speakers, when she rubs the contact 
where the speaker plugs in, but no sound.  I'm just not sure how to 
trace what's happening, to see where it all gets gummed up.  My sound is 
working (same or similar FC5 installation), even though I have this in 
my /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias eth0 3c59x
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };  \
 /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0

Thanks, Tom
