Ah, OK. Since the Wiki said:

I expected the command to return some output telling me that it was
there. It might be worth tweaking the Wiki to explain this.

lsmod shows that it's there, and it's already appearing as enabled when
I check via a "make xconfig". Do I understand that I don't have to
change anything re: the kernel?

I've now done the configure, make, and make install for the alsa driver,
lib, utils, and tools. The Wiki next says to do the line

modprobe snd-via8233;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe \
snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss

but also mentions the alsa-driver-xxx/utils/alsasound script for RedHat
systems (I'm running RedHat 7.3). Should I do one or the other? Both?

To get the modules to load whenever I boot, should I copy the line or
the file somewhere?

(I think I'm getting closer...)
