I don't know why this is true on your machine but it seems clear you
don't have alsasound as an initscript on your machine.
My question is, how do other Fedora Core 5 users have this service on
their systems? An expansion based on a previous
email on this subject: their appears to be
no /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directories in any of the three alsa RPM's that
ship with Fedora Core 5:
http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Files_alsa-lib-devel.txt
http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Files_alsa-lib.txt
http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Files_alsa-utils.txt
As their appear to only be three alsa* RPM's in Fedora Core 5, do other
have /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound because it is in some other package?
Such as one that is not in Core or Extras?
I'm going to check the Fedora Core 4 & Fedora Core 3 alsa RPM's to see
if the file is in those.
