Check your /etc/modules.conf file (or maybe modprobe.conf). I don't know
how to find out what the specific line you'll need is. Used to be a line
like

alias char-major-nn {sound-card-module}

but then that changed to

alias sound-slot-0 {sound-card-module}

and now in FC3 (maybe this is a udev thing? or maybe a kernel 2.6 thing?)

alias sound-card-0 {sound-card-module}
