Installing the alsa rpm only puts the right files in the right places.
I had no problem getting the sound to work under alsa. I have a celeron
366mhz
computer with a CS4616 (Crystal Semiconductor sound chip) which is
supported by alsa. You will need a linux kernel 2.2.15 or newer for alsa
sound support.
I got my on the Mandrake 7.1 cdrom version.
Just be patient and follow the ALSA-sound-mini-HOWTO. You can get it at
