You're on the right track, but not quite there. He had alsa kernel modules 
installed from ATrpms, which go into a module path (/lib/modules/$(uname 
-r)/updates/sound) that takes precedence over the in-kernel path. Apparently, 
the latest FC4 kernel has alsa 1.0.11rc3 already included, and the 1.0.10 
packages from ATrpms were simply overriding them.
