Fine, check the integrity of the install:
  rpm -V alsa-lib alsa-utils alsa-lib-devel

That's where it should be in fc3.

Very strange. Which alsamixer are you running? Do:
  which alsamixer
That should return /usr/bin/alsamixer. Or run "/usr/bin/alsamixer"
explicitly to make sure you are not running another binary. 

If the rpm verify command above does not report missing files and
alsamixer is the original then I don't know what's going on.
