Another thing: At least in Redhat 7.0 (I haven't run sndconfig in 7.1),
sndconfig always started out with stern warnings that running from X
was a bad idea and it was better to quit X and run from the console.

But it doesn't sound like that's what you're seeing --
"no such file" is pretty specific.  On my RH 7.1 system,
/usr/sbin/sndconfig is a symlink to ../../sbin/sndconfig,
so the real executable is at /sbin/sndconfig.  Do you have
an executable there in /sbin?  What happens if you run that one?
