But it did set up /etc/modprobe.conf for you, because now you've got
the alsactl entries in there.

That has different reasons and indicates that you still did not set/save
all your audio mixers, because the entries in /etc/modprobe.conf restore
ALSA mixers upon loading the modules. ALSA (the Advanced Linux Sound
Architecture) in Fedora Core 2 comes with two audio drivers, native ALSA
and OSS emulation. Depending on what audio devices files your applications
use, you may need to set different mixers. /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer are
OSS, /dev/snd/* are ALSA. system-config-soundcard justs sets the mixers
for the test sound to be played on /dev/dsp (OSS), so whatever you try
after a reboot, it seems to use OSS and the OSS mixer has not been set
up correctly. Naturally, setting ALSA mixers should get the OSS mixers
in sync, but that doesn't seem to work everywhere and with every audio
driver.
