I attempted to fix with RPMS from www.atrpm.net.  I am probably worse 
off than
before =P  Submitted to FC bugzilla. 
Bug 174955 : Kernel 2.6.14-x cause sound not to work for DVD playback.

Snippet of what happened.

Attempts to fix:

Upgraded with RPMS from www.atrpm.net:

alsa-utils-1.0.10-18.rhfc4.at.i386.rpm
libasound2-1.0.10-25.rhfc4.at.i386.rpm
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.10-25.rhfc4.at.i386.rpm
alsa-lib-1.0.10-25.rhfc4.at.i386.rpm

Resulted menus playing sounds as normal, movie plays, but lost
front channels/woofer, rear channels work but muted during movie
(not in menu).
