What, did they break something? What problems are you seeing? I'm using 
an older ALSA 0.9.0-beta12 on a 600E and I have everything working just 
fine. I'm using snd-cs4236 instead of snd-cs4232 and my options line is 
the same as yours with the addition of snd_cport=0x538 snd_sb_port=0x220 
snd_fm_port=0x388 snd_enable=1. I don't have snd_isapnp=0 because I 
build the modules with the ALSA_NOPNP=y environment variable set so 
there's no PNP stuff to disable. Now this is on Debian Woody, not RH 7.3 
but the ALSA setup should be very similar, as long as the hardware has 
the same settings.
