I did not plug anything in there, but I don't know whether something could
be plugged in under the covers of my notebook.

The -f here means "query package that owns this file". What I meant was,
this is proof the /etc/init.d/alsasound script that I'm running belongs to
the 1.0.12.rc1 version I compiled from source, and not from the alsa rpms
I had installed.
