[PlanetCCRMA] Keeping Alsa loaded

Remove the following lines, that's the RedHat OSS configuration:

> alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
> post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L
> >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
> pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S
> >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

Type "/sbin/depmod -a"
Make sure alsa is activated to load on boot:
  /sbin/chkconfig --add alsasound

_and_, if kudzu (the RedHat hardware configurator) offers to reconfigure
your sound card politely decline the honor :-)
