I've never tried ALSA, but the kernel drivers are pretty easy to set up. 
You need the cs4232 driver.

Some shortcuts:
* Go into Easy Setup (F1 while turning the machine on) and disable quick
boot.
* Install sndconfig (it's not installed by default in RH8).  Run it with
sndconfig--noprobe, else you'll get an "unsupported card" type message.
* Select CS4232 driver and provide IO/IRQ/etc. settings.  If you haven't
messed with much in BIOS/PS2.EXE, they should look something like this:
io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9
If it doesn't work at first, you may have to fiddle with the settings.  In
particular, you might have to switch dma and dma2.
