That is a "kernel panic", something really wrong happened during the
module load and the kernel prints some debugging info and basically
quits. The module cannot be removed without a reboot. 

A bit more information about the crash can be found (only usable for
alsa gurus, I guess) if you pipe that information through the ksymoops
program, the output should include some symbol information (ie: not just
numbers).

What version of alsa and of the kernel?
Did you try with the redhat capabilities enabled kernel as well?
