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.
