You need to make sure your system loads the snd-seq-midi module
automatically on every boot. This is done by adding the name of the
module (snd-seq-midi) into /etc/modules

"alsactl store" does store mixer settings, but it doesn't help if your
system does not "alsactl restore" them at boot up. Look at the scripts
in /etc/init.d/ and see if any of them run the command. It's possible
that there are scripts which load the settings, but the feature has been
disabled.

If FC3 does not do this, you can always either run "alsactl restore" by
hand, or write an init script to do that automatically.
