Unfortunately, I think the way out is RHEL6.

I have not been able to present a new alsa-driver or video4linux which
works for RHEL5 for a long time. A few more RedHat kernel patches
and probably even the current versions will not work any more.

You can always use whatever driver they supply in the kernel (that is,
removing video4linxux), if that works for you.
