No idea but a suggestion regarding rpms. Why not grab a mandrake SRPM,
extract the spec file from it and tweak it to use the alsa-project
tarballs[0]. It could be as simple as putting the spec file in the SPECS
dir and the tarball in the SOURCES dir and doing 'rpm -bb
SPEC/spec-filename'.
Now you get to use the tarballs you want and retain the package management
stuff.

[0] Some tarballs come with spec files within them these days. If so, you
can 'rpm -tb <tarball>' to build an rpm.
