this fixed the issue on fedora 8 for me. adjust dependencies as neccsary, but the fedora 7 rpms work great for me. replace hxxp with http.
Code:
sudo rpm -ivh --force \
hxxp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/7/i386/alsa-lib-1.0.14-3.fc7.i386.rpm \
hxxp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/7/i386/alsa-plugins-jack-1.0.14-2.fc7.i386.rpm \
hxxp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/7/i386/alsa-plugins-oss-1.0.14-2.fc7.i386.rpm \
