I've done both (and just re-did them just in case).  The sound is fine 
with either version of alsa-lib (FC6 core or ATrpms update) as long as I 
don't use the kernel module.  This is true of both the Redhat kernels as 
well as the Suspend2 kernels from ATrpms.

Now if I can just get the damned i810 video driver to display TV out on 
S-video in a different resolution than the 1280x800 of the laptop's LCD...

I knew I was going to take the wrong train so I left early.
