If only it were that simple!

I have a Fedora 14 distro and aplay isn't installed. And it seems that
it's no longer available for download anywhere, either. All I can find
is gnome-alsamixer,

Does gnome-alsamixer work in the same way as alsamixer?

Does anyone know if there's a good HOWTO on getting this working. I
have looked at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Configuring_Digital_Sound_with_AC3_and_SPDIF
which is how I got my old box up and running, but it refers to
software that doesn't seem to exist any more (at least as far as
Fedora 14 is concerned).
