Hi Mark. I know I've got pulseaudio on the brain, as I had problems with it, 
and disabled it, but have you got the default install of F8, where pulseaudio 
is enabled? I ask because of the sound apps that you have working. Realplayer 
uses OSS, VLC uses natively OSS, or Alsa, and also Gnomes ESD. Not sure about 
Pidgin (Gaim), but I believe it uses OSS for it's sounds. Puzzling why Alsa 
apps won't work.

If you havn't messed with pulseaudio since installing F8, I think I'd do a:
yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio

having done that I'd see if now aplay, audio cd's, etc work.

Enough for now.

Nigel.
