As Austin mentions, be patient here.  It will likely finish eventually.
BTW, what version of Linux is this?  In the beta versions leading
to RH 7.1, I found that if I had a crash, fsck could take
all night, even on a 10,000 RPM Ultra 160 IBM disk.  Mercifully,
they fixed this in 7.1 release.

If I were you, I'd avoid sndconfig until I found out why this
was happening.  Not being able to play MP3s on Linux ain't
the end of the world.  Other than that, a computer should
be seen and not heard anyway :-)

Put the Red Hat install CD in your CDROM drive, boot.
At the boot prompt, type rescue.  As I recall, it says this
write on the boot prompt screen of the installer, near the bottom.
That drops you into a rescue mode.  I forget where it mounts
your file systems offhand, but it does make them available.
