Could you try doing:

# (echo "rmmod snd_intel8x0"; echo "modprobe snd_intel8x0") > 
/etc/sysconfig/modules/snd-fix.modules
# chmod +x /etc/sysconfig/modules/snd-fix.modules

(watch out for line-wrapping)

as an alternative to putting the commands in rc.local?

This will run the commands at an earlier stage of the boot process (it's 
the new "official" way of doing manual module loading in FC4) and I'm 
curious about whether it would still work.
