If this is a straight FC5 install, without installing the planetccrma kernel, 
and associated kernel-modules-alsa, there isn't an alsasound script.

Alsa is obviously being started at bootup on FC5 in some different way, but I 
havn't discovered how yet.

Whether this is specific to FC5, I don't know. When I installed FC3, and 4, 
Alsa worked out of the box, and there was no good reason to root around the 
filesystem seeing what bits were, or were not there.  Then I installed the 
planetccrma stuff, which I always do, and the script is at /etc/rc.d/init.d , 
as it always had been since I've been using FC with planetccrma.
