alsa-firmware-1.0.13-1.fc7.ccrma.i386.rpm wouldn't install until I 
installed alsa-tools 1.0.13

THat's okay now (I think):

[chris at p733 ~]$ rpm -U /home/chris/tDesktop/alsa-tools*
error: File not found by glob: /home/chris/tDesktop/alsa-tools*
[chris at p733 ~]$ rpm -U /home/chris/Desktop/alsa-tools*
warning: /home/chris/Desktop/alsa-tools-1.0.13-1.fc7.ccrma.i386.rpm:

[root at p733 chris]# rpm -U /home/chris/Desktop/alsa-tools*

Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 68d9802a
        package alsa-tools-1.0.13-1.fc7.ccrma is already installed

Then I installed the firmware:

[chris at p733 ~]$ rpm -i Desktop/alsa-firm*

Still no sound - bugt then you did write that I'd be a step closer - not 
done!
