I have just installed Alsa and here's my experience.
Using http://foolish.digitalinc.info/docs/alsa/ as a start
downloaded alsa.rpm's ran rpm -ivh *.rpm
setup modules.conf disabled kdearts
Used /usr/bin/alsaconf,it found the card (SB Audigy)but errored
on 'start rcalsasound not found in alsactl line 691 (I think)'
Tried to sudo rmmod audigy ac97_codec sound but would say 'busy'
didn't try to rm soundcore AFAIK alsa also uses it
My only alternative was a reboot.
I now have alsa running.
