True, this is an issue with yum that the plugin cannot fix. You can
only outsmart yum with

yum install alsa-kmdl-2.6.25.6-27.fc8.i686 alsa-driver

The reason is that the plugin kicks in after yum's dependency
calculation and yum picks up the i586 package. The plugin then picks
up the proper one, but has no way of knowing whether the other one was
wrongly picked up by yum or explicitly by the user etc.

So in short: I cannot fix this, but it only happens if a kernel and a
kernel module get updated at the same time as it happened here (alsa
itself went to 1.0.17 as you can see above).

Only in this corner case does yum need to pick some kmdl and by
Murphy's law it's always the wrong one.
