How do you try to play sounds? I believe the XMMS that ships with RedHat 9 is crippled because of license issues with the mp3 decoder, so you might have to install that extra package to be able to play mp3's.

do lsmod to see if the modules are loaded
also try running xmms from xterm or something so you can see the output in case there are errors.
try to use alsamixer too, AU8830 has a lot of options!
what's your ALSA version btw?
