I downloaded the sources for alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-driver, and 
asla-tools.  There is no rpm involved here.  In retrospect, it might 
have been best if I could have done a rpm erase on the existing alsa 
packages, but I didn't.  I went to each of the dirs that were created 
from unzipping the source packages, then the old configure;make;make 
install.
