After

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound

I got

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound stop
Shutting down sound driver: ERROR: Module snd_hda_intel is in use
ERROR: Module snd_hda_codec is in use by snd_hda_intel
ERROR: Module snd_mixer_oss is in use
ERROR: Module snd_pcm is in use by snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec
ERROR: Module snd_timer is in use by snd_pcm
ERROR: Module snd is in use by
snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
done
#

So, apparently, alsasound does not work properly.
