alsa-utils does require alsa-lib through the automated library requires but it should require a praticular version. Ideally, it should require the corresponding version of alsa-lib, as this seems to be the only really tested combination. During my previous life with rawhide, I once had alsa-utils-1.0.19 (brought by yum through a dependency) in combination with alsa-lib-1.0.15. In that case, alsactl used to report a missing symbol. I have verified that the current rawhide version, alsa-utils-1.0.21-2.fc12, contains no versioned require, so it can be installed with alsa-1.0.15-1.fc9.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
