It's a Slackware-specific command. Apart from that, the alsasound
initscript is not included within Fedora Core. It's main purpose is not
restoring volume levels, but loading/removing kernel modules to aid
alsaconf in doing its job correctly. alsaconf, however, is not included
either, since system-config-soundcard does the soundcard configuration.
