I, too, have an asound.state. It looks like definitions for the mixers.
I would have thought that system-config-soundcard would have created
asound.conf since it says so at the top of the file :-)
Did you try running system-config-soundcard again? My is the same
version as yours.
What does alsamixer do when run from the command line?
As a test try creating /etc/asound.conf with the above lines. These are
the permissions here:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 124 May 31 06:26 /etc/asound.conf
I don't know what software uses asound.conf, but if it's a module,
rebooting (or reloading the sound modules) may be necessary.
