Why is that a problem? Last I heard the other option was not reliable
under linux (that may have changed in newer kernels and distros but it
is most probably a problem in rh9/2.4.x). I don't remember what the
specific problem was, you may want to go to the jack mailing list
archives.

I assume (you don't say explicitly) that the problem with sound is only
happening with the RedHat derived kernel, right? If that is the case you
most probably have not installed the alsa kernel modules for that
kernel. 

On rh9 the name of those packages are "alsa-kernel-*", you can see what
you have by doing this:
  rpm -q -a |grep ^alsa-kernel
You should have one that matches the kernel you are trying to run
("uname -r" to see which one). 

Or you can install:
  apt-get -o RPM::Install-Options::=--oldpackage install
planetccrma-core-redhat

(all in one line)
That should bring in all that is needed. 
Saludos y suerte!
