Okay.. I know it's a bit late on this one, but It's been bugging me at
the end of my mail queue, so what the hell! :)
I actually have ALSA 0.9.0rc3 running with the card you have: FM801.
My current setup:
Slackware 8.1
alsa-0.9.0rc2 (driver, lib, utils)
kernels 2.4.19, 2.5.47
./configure options are: --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux
--with-moddir=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/sound [1]
--with-debug=memory --with-isapnp=auto --with-sequencer=yes --with-oss=yes
--with-cards=fm801
Compiled clean, make, make install went fine. same with alsa-lib and
alsa-utils. Now, one thing I think you might have missed, is to do a depmod
-a, if it's not already done. With that done, you should be good to go.
However, starting with 0.9.0rc2 IIRC, the module name changed. try doing a
'find /lib/modules -name snd-fm801 -print'. You should see it in
kernel/drivers/sound.
my modules.conf looks like so:
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias snd-card-0 snd-fm801
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
post-install snd-fm801 modprobe "-k" "snd-pcm-oss"
If you use something like this, a simple 'modprobe snd-fm801' should
load the necessary modules for your card. You may need to run ./snddevices
before doing this, unless you're running DevFS, which I am. DevFS comes in
handy for this, so you may want to throw that into your kernel (I don't use
RH, plus I roll my own kernels, so I don't know what RH puts into their
kernel. you'll have to check the .config for that).
If you run DevFS, throw this into your /etc/devfsd.conf: [2]
#
# ALSA.
#
REGISTER sound/.* MKOLDCOMPAT
UNREGISTER sound/.* RMOLDCOMPAT
REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio rw-rw----
REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio rw-rw----
LOOKUP snd MODLOAD
LOOKUP dsp MODLOAD
As the output from make install tells you, it only loads the modules.
you still need a mixer to set the volumes. if you installed alsa-utils, either
aplay, or alsamixer should set do these good.
After that, you should have a running FM801 card. If you don't, lemme
know and I'll take you through it all.

[1] Insert the output of uname -r here. It may work with passing that directly
to --with-moddir, but I don't recommend it.
[2] This assumes you have an audio group. That group will only have access to
the device for sending output to the device/card.
