You forgot the alsa-driver part, the above pacakges are only
userland. Try something like

yum install alsa-driver alsa-driver-kmdl-`uname -r`

and reboot to allow the new alsa 1.0.10 kernel modules to take
action. Then you will have a complete alsa 1.0.10 environment. Now you
were testing alsa 1.0.10 userland on alsa 1.0.9 kernel.
