I'm not sure I agree with you in that RH is easier than debian.  I have
a 250 and a 350 and they are working (most of the time).  
- You don't need alsa but it is recommended.
- One way to find out if you have all the dependencies is to go into the
mythtv directory and try to make.  if it works then you have them, if it
doesn't then you don't.
BUT, 
you might want to follow jarod wilson's guide.  I hear it is great for
redhat.  you can find it, and many others here:
