The latest kernel patches in RHEL5's kernel broke alsa. Probably not a
big thing, but someone needs to either take the time and patch up alsa
or at least report to alsa upstream, so the next alsa (pre)release
gets a workaround (the breakage is in the kernel rpm, not alsa, but
the work still need to be done on alsa's side as the kernel is
untouchable).

It is on the same web page you mentioned above.

Use --define "kmdl_userland 0" when calling rpmbuild

If you find a patch I'll thank you twice as much :)
Also note that the latest kernel rpm has an updated alsa which for many
people made it unneccessary to use alsa-kmdls on RHEL5. Of course
there are many who still need it for the differences to 1.0.15.
