I know it is a dumb question... But have you run kmix

AFAIK (and I installed the ALSA drivers) you have to build them for the
kernel you are running, or have a prebuilt RPM for your exact kernel
version. It will be hard to find except for the most recent kernel
version, but try freshrpms.net
Is 2.4.9-34 the latest kernel for 7.2? I thought it was 2.4.18-19.7.0?
Have you considered doing an
"up2date -i kernel kernel-source kernel-pcmcia-cs glibc-kernelheaders"
Then reboot.
Then when you get the alsa-driver source rpm you can just do "rpmbuild
--rebuild alsa-driver*" and wait a while, then you will have them built
right.
BTW, check out freshrpms.net for lots of multimedia related stuff.
