I'm not at a Redhat machine right now so I cannot double check this, but
I think the normal way to do this stuff is with chkconfig. For Alsa
Fernando shows:

/sbin/chkconfig --add alsasound
/sbin/chkconfig --list alsasound

I'm just guessing that if you have hotplug on your system (as I do on
this Gentoo box) that you can add it to a runlevel this way. From my
Gentoo system I see things like this:

Gentoo2 root # rc-update show

This is all just a guess, but clearly since I get events in
/var/log/messages and you don't that's a pretty key difference.
