You can add ALSA to Redhat 7.3 or 8.0 very simply with apt-get, which you
can get from http://freshrpms.net/apt/.  All the goodness of apt without the
<insert explative> install of Debian.

apt-get install alsa-driver

Apt will automagically get the correct kernal with ALSA support as a
dependancy for the driver.  You might also want alsa-lib, alsaplayer, and
alsa-xmms.

If you're going to switch distro's to get ALSA support, then Mandrake
9.0 uses it out of the box.  Like I said, I haven't had any problems
with sound.
