After the configure call execute:

 mkdir -p include/linux
 touch include/linux/workqueue.h

This helps. But I don't know the details, search google for some of the
background info.

BTW: You could also try the alsa-driver srpm from the bottom of

http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=601

and report if everything is working. It includes the workaround. A
simple

rpmbuild --rebuild <SRPM> --target <i686|athlon|whatever kernel you are
using> 

should build the driver.
