If Ubuntu can continue to provide the awesfx package on their latest release (Intrepid Ibex 8.10), it is a bit puzzling why Fedora have decided to remove it, when so many folks (Gene included), are still using audigy (emu10k1) soundcards, which are well supported by Alsa.
Just some comments from a Fedora user.
If you have the hardware and you think awesfx is needed on Fedora then one option is to become a package maintainer and maintain that package.

Nigel and Gene,
should we take this convo off line and take over maintenance. I don't know how to do it but willing to step in and help, do whatever it takes.
cheers

Be my guest Thierry, and with my thanks.
There might have been a time when I might have tackled it as I have walked around in and emitted some C code when I was in my early 60's, but that was both on simpler hardware, and something over a decade ago now, and what I see being called C today bears little resemblence to the simplistic K&R I cut my teeth on 20+ years ago.
