No, they are left over from RHL9. With Fedora Core 2, there should be
entries which call alsactl to restore mixer settings made with
alsamixer. Clean up all sound/mixer related stuff in /etc/modprobe.conf
and rerun system-config-soundcard.

This is because you're missing the alsactl entries. Though, you need to be
careful what output driver you choose in XMMS. Fedora Core 2 comes with
ALSA, which also provides OSS compatibility drivers and device entries.
