1) Use lsof on /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p to see if anything is grabbing onto it.
2) Upgrade to Fedora 9
# rpm -Uhv fedora-release-9.0-2.noarch.rpm
# yum update
You may say "this is not an option" but there is no other way to get
an updated driver for your system unless you want to manually install
an F8 or F9 kernel (not recommended). Plus, PulseAudio (in F8 and now
F9) may help alleviate his problem.

lsof find firefox got a hold of it. I killed all his firefox windows
and then the audio app starts working again. So now, he can use his ip
phone but he just can't browse while doing it. ??
AFAIK Firefox should not be holding the sound driver open. Do they have
Flash installed? Visiting Youtube? Possibly a plugin like mplayerplugin?
Upgrading to F8 or F9 with PulseAudio would alleviate this.
