More things than just emacs have changed between Fc2 and FC3 I think?
Doesn't this involve a 2.4 to 2.6 kernel change with  corresponding
change from OSS to ALSA as the default sound architecture?   
I'm having this kind of flakiness with Dectalk on a 2.4 kernel but
with ALSA as the sound library.  
If that's your problem I suspecct it won't be too hard to solve ...
cheers
