ALSA project :
you must have kernel sources installed in your system, normally in /usr/src/linux...
and with make dep done ( kernel sources from RedHat have it ) and the pure sources from www.kernel.org don't if you download it from kernel.org you must configure properly the kernel and make dep.
get
alsa-driver-0.9.0rc3.tar.bz2
alsa-lib-0.9.0rc3.tar.bz2
alsa-utils-0.9.0rc3.tar.bz2
alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1.tar.bz2
from http://www.alsa-project.org

unpack like this bunzip2 < alsa-driver-0.9.0rc2.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -

for install alsa-drive for via686;

you should append this modules.conf to /etc/modules before install alsa-drive with alsa_install script
modules.conf

One script for instalation of alsa:

for example put alsa_install file in parent directory of alsa-drive
and do:
chmod +x alsa_install (give permissions to execute)
cd alsa-driver-0.9.0rc3
../alsa_install
the important is runnig the script in directory of alsa-drive.

for the rest by this order alsa-lib,alsa-utils and alsa-oss
do:
./configure
make install.

Only alsa-drive must be install after recompile the kernel.

Note since RC4 the drive name change to via82xx I will update this site when I have time
