Sound, Fedora13, and VMware

I just installed VMware Workstation 7.1.2 on my i686 machine.  I
attached my old Windows XP client image, and things came up
nicely---except for sound ("no /dev/dsp found" was the sad
announcement).

Has anyone successfully fixed this on F13?

I've run across one solution (uncommenting the magic line in
/etc/modprobe.d/dist-oss.conf to enable legacy OSS) but the person who
did it had first ripped out the PulseAudio stuff and was running
straight ALSA.
