Thanks, Mark:  On my machine, FC5,
ps -ef | grep esd
tom       2233     1  0 Aug03 ?        00:00:09 /usr/bin/esd -terminate 
-nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd 18

I asked my daughter (she's up in Minneapolis) and hers is the same.  
I've now got her next step to stop and start alsa and report what 
happens.  I installed FC5 on my machine, and on hers.  I don't remeber 
which setup I used for my install, and which setup I chose for hers.  
Something is blocking the path to /dev/dsp, on her machine when she 
tries the microphone recording.
Tom
