Sorry about the delay on this, I am playing catch-up on my mailing lists...

alsaconf is not distributed in the binary RPMs.  As I recall, it is built by 
the source RPM, then deleted in building the binary RPM.  

Fedora's choice is to use system-config-soundcard.  However, there are sound 
cards that alsaconf detects, that system-config-soundcard does not.  I 
rebuilt alsa-utils locally to include alsaconf, and was able to configure a 
couple of older systems (Compaq AP400 desktop, Compaq Armada 7800), that 
system-config-soundcard did not handle.  

BEWARE: alsaconf does a port probe.  It may hang your system, or worse!!  Use 
at your risk.  This, I belieave is why Fedora excludes it.  That warning in 
mind, I had absolutely no problem.
