Found them!
The version number had been bumped up from:
libalsa2-0.9.2-3mdk.i586.rpm
to:
libalsa2-0.9.2-4mdk.i586.rpm
The Mandrake Club rpmfind and mirror find scripts still linked to the
older package, so I got 'file not found' yesterday.
There doesn't appear to be an RPM maintained of alsa-tools - I don't
know why, because Mandrake packages all the other ALSA stuff. I built
envy24control from source and it looks OK so far. A very elegant
looking application.

I'd never needed to upgrade ALSA RPM's between distribution upgrades
before, so I didn't know that. It's a bit unusual to require source
in order to upgrade a binary, isn't it?
Thanks for the help!
Daniel
