After some searching, I found references to 'alsaconf'. It seemed that it should be part of the alsa-utils sources, but was not installed on my system with the alsa-utils.rpm. Looking into the .srpm, I saw that alsaconf is build, and then deleted! "Fixing" the script, I rebuilt alsa-utils, installed the rpm, and ran alsaconf. Ran it on two systems on which the sound had gone missing (one an upgrade from FC1, where the sound worked; and one a fresh install FC2, then FC3, which never had sound). If your having trouble installing sound, I would give alsaconf a shot first.
