I presume you mean gnome-sound-prefrences then? If so, AFAIK, the more recent Gnome version (this is a Gnome tool, not a PA tool) do not give the option to use ALSA any more. This dialog has been completely reworked to no longer give the user full control over the gstreamer preferences (as this is what the old dialog effectively was IIRC). I believe you can still bring up your gstreamer prefrences via: gstreamer-properties, it's possible the menu item just changed to point at a more appropriate tool. The gnome-sound-preferences app is now a frontend to PulseAudio so it will always be a PA specific tool. You'll probably get a more authoritative response from a Gnome IRC channel or Mailing list tho' as this is not technically part of the PulseAudio project itself, it's part of Gnome.
