Verily I say unto thee, that Jim spake thusly:

> I wanted to remove and reinstall Alsa-*

Uninstalling and reinstalling software rarely fixes problems, at least
not on real operating systems like Linux. That's a Windows trait.

Better by far to examine your configuration files for errors
(~/.asoundrc /etc/alsa/alsa.conf /etc/modprobe.conf) and/or run
system-config-soundcard and/or gnome-sound-properties.

If an installed package really *has* become corrupted somehow, you can
determine that without uninstalling it, thus:

rpm -Vv alsa-lib

An explanation of the results is in "man rpm" In the "VERIFY OPTIONS"
section. Generally speaking, if you see nothing but dots "." in the
first column, then there's no problem.
