http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/system.html
or more specifically:
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/all/linux/SRPMS/alsa-driver-1.0.4-1.cvs.src.rpm
See also:
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/recompilealsa.html
(you only need to rebuild the alsa driver source rpm)

You should explore the Planet CCRMA site a bit more......
