I didn't get your point, which is to yum update my machine basically....
Well, I did this, and a lot of packages has been updated (hopefully correct).
So I suppose a recent alsda-driver or whatever have been sucessfully installed? A "yum list | grep alsa" returns:
yum list | grep alsa
alsa-lib.i386 1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5 installed
alsa-lib-devel.i386 1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5 installed
alsa-utils.i386 1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5 installed
alsa-oss.i386 1.0.11-1.fc5 extras
alsa-oss-devel.i386 1.0.11-1.fc5 extras
alsa-tools.i386 1.0.10-2.fc5 extras
alsamixergui.i386 0.9.0-0.3.rc1.fc5 extras
balsa.i386 2.3.14-1.fc5 extras
kadu-alsa_sound.i386 0.5.0-2.fc5 extras
Also do I need to restart anything? Or are the libraries, codes etc. just updated and ready to use?
ALSO: I tried to listen to a wav-file using "aplay" and got the following error-message:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
aplay: main:545: audio open error: Device or resource busy
What to do now? I actually need sound capabilities for a VoiP call in 45 minutes....
Cheers
Alex

It doesn't need any parameters, just "yum update" and say "y" when
prompted. You can just update the kernel and alsa stuff ("yum update
kernel\* alsa\*" I think) but I really wouldn't recommend it unless
you've been installing lots of replacement software with no regard to
what was already installed.
I'm guessing that you've never updated this machine so you'll have lots
of patches to install. It'll take a while :-) But it's a good thing --
there are quite a few security fixes in among it all.
