"modinfo snd_es18xx" shows me that it is part of the latest FC5 kernel but
not FC6 (weird), and its license is GPL. I would try it first without
installing any other alsa modules.

The "official" alsa-lib for FC5 is alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5.i386.rpm.

If it does not work, then I would try Atrpms' drivers.

The line below is a sign that the module you are using now is somewhat
incomplete for some reason.

>> snd: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
