I did some research on this bug. Alsa's web site suggested recent changes to the libraries would make the ca0106 cards work. I grabbed the alsa driver,library and kernel from Fedora 8 repo. Upon reboot and running system-config-sound sound was functional with the Audigy SE card on Fedora 7. The latest alsa driver fixed the problem.
> aplay: main:545: audio open error: Device or resource busy Your card looks occupied by another application.... Anyway, alsa-drivers should be the same in f7 and f8. So do the f8 packages work for you and the f7 ones don't?

Which version of ALSA works for you? The current fedora version is 1.0.15, the latest is 1.0.16.
