That's incredible. It's a fairly simple script; it takes several readings and guesses at a /etc/modules.conf modification, and it usually guesses pretty accurately. It's a really nice thing. Under RH8/9 the FreshRPMs versions of Alsa have had alsaconf, but it had a slightly-broken set of startup scripts. (/etc/rc.d/init.d/asound, etc). Nothing big; just a little bug that only makes it iffy the first time around. But I noticed that there's no "tools" RPM on FreshRPMS- there is on other ones, but the version numbers don't match up, so I didn't want to risk it. I thought maybe it was moved to the "utils" RPM, but it's not in there. Someone suggested I rebuild from an SRPM, but that didn't cause it to magically appear, either. :) No biggie- I Googled for someone else's /etc/modules.conf file who also had an SBLive, and it worked on the first pull. Someone else mentioned that it's part of the development tree; somewhere in the vast collection of files that eventually make it to the RPM, alsaconf exists, somewhere. But unfortunately I don't have any details- I don't dabble in the affairs of kernel drivers- they're quick to anger and...how's that old line go?
