Are you using a <textobject> in your <mediaobject> for images?
If you *are*, you should get ALT attributes without any problem.
I code my images as:
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="foo.eps" format="EPS">
</imageobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="foo.jpg" format="JPG">
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>This is the alt text.</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
Works fine for me and the ALT tags are good.
Regards,
Dan
