That's odd. I've just been into FC5, presuming that's what your using, to 
check it out, and alsasound is there. I am using a kernel from planetccrma, 
along with Alsa stuff, and sound apps from them, but Alsa, when I installed 
FC5 worked just fine OOTB with my Ensoniq card.

What machine is this on? And are you using a roll your own kernel?

Have you had Alsa working on it?

Will you post  the output of /sbin/lsmod.

Also, run.
cat /proc/asound/cards
and
cat /proc/asound/version

Do you see any output with those?

Also, have a look in /etc/rc.d/init.d , and see if there is anything Alsa 
related.

Over to you.

Nigel.
