If it's expecting the OSS sound drivers (which'd be about right for RH6)
then you can use the padsp wrapper:

$ padsp $old-program

This will fake up the traditional OSS interface for the process run and
works with most of the ancient things I've tried it with - the main
caveat is that it uses LD_PRELOAD tricks so it won't work with
suid/static binaries.

The man page has more details and options for controlling the interface.
