As Rui commented rtirq has to run after the sound subsystem is up and
running (the soundcard module has to be up and running). That should
have been happening in fc3, sound gets initialized very early in the
boot sequence (there was a problem if the early startup code did not
load the module and the alsasound script was active and it ended up
starting the card, that would execute after rtirq - but that was fixed
in the latest rtirq package I released together with the latest kernel).
See what you see with this:
  ls /etc/rc.d/*.d/*rtirq*
the startup for rtirq should be S88*, not S81*. 

Try running rtirq _after_ the startup has finished:
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/rtirq start
that should reorder the interrupts again, see what the results are:
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/rtirq status
