No, modules means in this discussion kernel "elements". You may treat
the things modular when speaking about ALSA havin drivers, libs and
utils. But modules in this discussion means " hardware drivers", and
only this part. These modules are located under /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/.

fedora.us is one source for FC1 RPMs: simply use the fedora.us
repository with yum or up2date and a simple ALSA installation is
provided.

An alternate can be freshrpms.net which has the RPMs for FC1 too.
