I had the same experience the author mentions; a continuous white noise from the computer speakers.
I was fortunate to find the source of the problem without too much digging. Apparently the ALSA driver has support for more inputs to the sound card I was using than the OSS driver that was provided with FC1.
I found one of those new inputs enabled, and at full gain. Hence, the hiss. Disabling this input cured the problem.
That's certainly an issue that could have been easily solved with some pre-sets on sound card inputs.
