I upgraded yesterday and found a simple solution.

1. Obtain alsa-driver-0.9.0rc3-fr11.src.rpm from ftp.freshrpms.net (in
/pub/freshrpms/psyche/alsa-driver)
2. Install it (rpm -iUvh alsa-driver-0.9.0rc3-fr11.src.rpm)
3. Build it (cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS ; rpmbuild -ba alsa-driver.spec)
[it gets installed by the build process anyway, but to keep your rpm database
happy...]
4. Install it (cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<YOUR CPU>/ ; 
	rpm -iUvh alsa-kernel-0.9.0rc3-fr11_2.4.18_17.8.0.<YOUR CPU>.rpm
5. You're done...

On a fast machine, this won't take all that long; on a slow machine, go get
dinner while it runs.  On a really slow machine, a trip to Hawaii might be
nice... :-)

Good luck,
