That seems consistent with my observations :-)

I've had issues with Intel hardware in the past (you're not running on a 
Dell XPS 700 or 710 by any chance, are you?).  At one point, I had to 
get an updated alsa-kmdl patch from www.atrpms.net to get my sound 
working properly.  If you run alsamixer, how many channels do you see?  
If it's only one, your hardware is too new for the driver, and you might 
want to consider upgrading.  The atrpms repository makes this pretty 
painless.

It definitely sounds like you're drivers might be the culprit.

That means it fell back to SDL before you got a valid device, and it 
still didn't work, probably due to the drivers.  I've tested quite a bit 
with a 64-bit FC6 install at home, so I doubt it's a 32/64 issue.
