PulseAudio identifies sound cards by their HAL UDI. system-config-soundcard has been removed from the installer and is no longer part of the default install to make sure we don't write the problematic /etc/modprobe.conf fragments anymore. There was some talk to remove it from the distribution entirely, though I don't know what the latest status of this is.
