My error. The alsa rpms installed are: alsa-lib-1.0.3a-2 alsa-utils-1.0.3-1
The alsactl lines are missing:

My /etc/modprobe.conf is now:

ALSA starts with various audio channels set to volume zero and "mute".Used alsamixer to set the volume levels that were settable (all but 2) and still no change in behavior with RealPlayer8 (I still have the RP8 from FC1 installed).
system-config-soundcard pushes up the volume level for the test sound.
And the user should run alsamixer, un-mute the channels, and the
shutdown/reboot process would save the mixer settings. modprobe.conf would
restore them at boot time upon loading the kernel drivers.
The radio station of interest offers only RealAudio, MP3, and Windows Media streams. What is the simplest to install/maintain player for one of these streams?
