Thats interesting. I've just booted up the other FC5 which doesn't have the planetccrma kernel, and the associated kernel-modules-alsa package on it, and your quite right. No /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound. There is an /etc/alsa directory with and alsa.conf file, a cards directory, and a PCM directory, with another few bits, and cat /proc/asound/cards, cat /proc/asound/version, and /sbin/lsmod show that Alsa is installed ok. It must be that installing the planetccrma kernel, and associated kernel-modules-alsa package, that has created the alsasound file. So the question remains. How, if you are using Fedora kernels, do you start and stop Alsa? I must admit that I only had a quick look in the non planetccrma FC5, and perhaps there is a script somewhere that allows you to stop and start Alsa.
