Scratch that. You do need to reconfigure alsa because it configures with a specific kernel. You probably don't need the newest alsa release candidate though.

I would just

$ rpm -e --nodeps alsa-lib
$ rpm -e --nodeps alsa-utils

to remove alsa. Then, immediately after (don't reboot since you used --nodeps)

$ yum install alsa-lib
$ yum install alsa-utils

Then try the /sbin/service alsasound stop/start to remove and reinstall the modules.
