That's ancient. You might consider upgrading to the current 0.9.x
series. Much improved. And any recent alsa-compatible apps will expect
the 0.9 API.

Sound like the same thing that happens with Debian. Do you have a
directory called /etc/modutils/ ? If so, add a file called "alsa"
in that directory, put your config stuff in it, and then
run update-modules which will combine everything from /etc/modutils/
and put it into /etc/modules.conf. 

Keep in mind that the above is true for Debian unstable and I don't
know if RedHat uses the same system or something else.
