What big differences exactly?   If you can't post a diff, attach what
you've got right now.

alsaconf doesn't know about /etc/modprobe.conf.dist

And it doesn't insert alsactl calls into /etc/modprobe.conf either,
because the ALSA 'alsasound' initscript is expected to do that
(and that one is not needed/used with Fedora Core 2).

The only interesting thing in the alsasound script is, that it attempts
at setting default volume levels.
