Which ALSA packages did you have installed?

rpm -qa "*alsa*" | sort

This command will print out the list of packages with alsa in the name.
From package name we should be able to see who is the packager, maybe
fedora.us or freshrpms.net.

If I run "rpm -qf /usr/sbin/alsaconf" I get: alsa-utils-1.0.2-1.fr

So we need more information to track your problems down. I personally
feel ALSA not so bad documented. On the project site you even can get a
working configuration without need for running alsaconf. And there are
additional information too. but good howtos and background information
written for non-experts are always highly welcomed! :)
