Packages are now uploaded to elrepo-testing, so everyone please test 
them over the next few days. They've just finished building so I've not 
had a chance to test them yet.

We can always build kmod-alsa --with-isapnp=yes just for you... I
believe a certain other popular repo builds their alsa kmdls with that

Actually it make make some sense to do so if the distro kernel doesn't 
have ISA enabled?
