For 2.6.0-test releases, I've been using the ALSA RPM packages from
freshrpms.net, and additionally copied the `alsasound' init script from
the original ALSA driver tarball (`utils' subdirectory) to /etc/init.d/,
followed by running /sbin/chkconfig --add alsasound.

/etc/modprobe.conf contains:

  install sound-slot-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
  remove sound-slot-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

in conjunction with the usual ALSA module aliases.

Works fine for me.
