Thanks for taking the time with this.
My current modprobe.conf is:
alias usb-controller ohci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
options ne irq=10
alias eth0 nvnet
alias usb-interface usb-ohci
# ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
install snd-card-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-card-0 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-card-0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-card-0
I've manually stored the settings as you suggested (using alsactl to
create /etc/asound.state) but still the same problem.
On reboot no sound. No CD; No xmms; No system sounds.
After soundcard detection then system sounds and xmms but still no CD.
Can you just confirm that running system-config-soundcard should modify
the content of /etc/modprobe.conf? It doesn't on my system. Maybe linked
in with the settings vanishing on reboot.
Do you know what system-config-soundcard does exactly?

I can live without the CD player, but it *was* working before upgrading
from RH9 to FC2.
