Note about the kernel drivers : You will need an "alsa-kernel" package that
was compiled for your kernel (same version and architecture). You can easily
recognize a matching "alsa-kernel" package from its name, e.g.
"alsa-kernel-smp-0.9.0-fr0.rc7.1_2.4.18_24.8.0.athlon.rpm" will work for the
SMP 2.4.18-24.8.0 athlon kernel. If you do not find a matching package,
recompile the source "alsa-driver" rpm while running the kernel you intend to
use ALSA with, having the corresponding "kernel-source" package installed and
using "--target <arch>" to choose the correct architecture. Once this is
done, simply install the resulting "alsa-kernel" binary rpm. Note that if you
do not specify the --target option, the default on x86 will be to recompile
for the i386 kernel, which is probably not what you want. For more advanced
rebuild options, see below.

What kernel are you runnung ('uname -r') ?

That should be commented out. Or change ad1848 to opl3sa2 to get the
_right_ OSS driver :)

Try 'locate snd-opl3sa2' . Somewhere in the path should be your kernel
version.
