You have you own kernel or you have Fedora 8 original kernel? If you 
have your own kernel you have to add Access Control List support to 
kernel. I have same problem with FC8 kernel it works fine.

Here is the problem:
 /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-acl-management.fdi

    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="alsa">
      <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">access_control</append>
      <merge key="access_control.file" 
type="copy_property">alsa.device_file</merge>
      <merge key="access_control.type" type="string">sound</merge>
    </match>

    <!-- sound card (OSS) -->
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="oss">
      <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">access_control</append>
      <merge key="access_control.file" 
type="copy_property">oss.device_file</merge>
      <merge key="access_control.type" type="string">sound</merge>
    </match>
